yes, the 64k was taken from a too quickly read of advice, I don't think
it's of any help on a ceph cluster but I'm not an FS guru. Is there a
way to lower it at runtime?

unfortunatly I cannot test this patch because:
- it's a production cluster and it's currently hard for me to reboot
nodes (not enough nodes ;))
- just after hiting this problem I saw a kernel 3.11 available on Debian
backports and decided to upgrade the whole cluster.
since this upgrade, there is no problems anymore ... I cross my fingers
