Any idea what happened?  I'm assuming it will happen again if recovery 
takes long enough.

You're running into a well known, but poorly rectified (if at all) kernel
problem, there is little Ceph has to do with it other than doing what is
supposed to, move large amounts of data around.

Check out:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712019

and linked from there:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/17/50

Ubuntu has this bug logged as well:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/721896

I was just starting to think this could be a Kernel issue.  Thank you for the confirmation.

One of the redhat comments says
Note if you're not sure which file is cached, you can get kswapd0 out of the loop by doing:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

I'll give that a try next time.

Thanks again.
