Comment 3 for bug 1428572

elmo: Good point. I wasn't thinking about the hyper converged case. In that case it definitely makes sense to kill off the kvm instances and other stuff first. For dedicated ceph hardware the story is a bit different. You're only running ceph and if the oom killer comes out ceph is pretty much the only target. I've seen cases in the past with dedicated hardware where the oom killer put the server into a very broken state that was hard to repair without rebooting.
