If it still happens, can you run ceph-mon through massif? valgrind --tool=massif ceph-mon -i whatever That'll generate a massif.out file (make sure it's there; you may need to specify the output file for valgrind) over time. Once ceph-mon starts eating ram, send us a copy of the file and we can hopefully see what is leaking.
