It's important not to use the kernel rbd mount on a machine hosting OSDs
because if it runs like on memory and tries to flush out shift pages, but
the OSD needs to allocate memory to handle the write... You have a problem!

Hosting all userspace processes shouldn't be a problem, though, apart from
the usual resource contention problems of running hyper-converged.
