Hi, I know that ceph has time synced servers has a requirements, but I think a sane failure mode like a message in the logs instead of incontrollably growing memory usage would be a good idea. I had the NTP process die on me tonight on an OSD (for unknown reason so far ...) and the clock went 3000s out of sync and the OSD memory just kept growing, and also the master mon memory. (which has the nice effect of having the master mon being OOM killed, then one of the backup takes the master role and grows as well and gets killed and so on and so forth until there is no quorum anymore).
