Are you running an osd on the same machine that has the /ceph mount?
There's known memory management problems with loopback network
filesystems; even NFS is known to trigger that. Using the kernel ceph
client to mount a ceph filesystem hosted on the same machine is not
safe.

A simple dd might not trigger the problems, because the kernel will
recognize the streaming write pattern and discard the pages early from
the buffer cache, but a full VM install isn't a clean streaming write.
