Note that there are other reasons for unbalanced storage on Ceph OSD.
The main reason is too few PGs (there's a calculator on ceph.com, google
for it).
These tmp mounts aren't normal, you should find out what is causing them.

So it might be a Ceph issue (too few PGs) or a system issue (some
component trying to use your filesystems for its own purposes).
You might have more luck on the ceph-users list (post your Ceph version,
the result of ceph osd tree, df on all OSDs and hunt for the process
creating theses mounts on your systems).

It's probably not a Btrfs issue (I run a Ceph on Btrfs cluster in
production and I've never seen this kind of problem).
