That's something that was been puzzling to me. The monitor ceph.conf is set to 35, but it's runtime config reports 20. I've restarted it after initial creation to try and get it to reload the ceph.conf settings, but it stays's at 20.

If I were to guess, the OSDs are actually seeing each other as slow (after 30 seconds) and reporting it in, but the monitors have a grace of 20 seconds set so that's what they're using to generate output. -Greg Software Engineer #42 @ http://inktank.com | http://ceph.com
