I think the confusion here is that "ceph mds stop 0" really tells it
to stop, not to go to standby. Once it finishes stopping (= has safely
exported all its data to the other mds), you can start it again, and
then it'll get to be standby.
This ASCII art from the source might explain. Ignore the extra detail:
boot --> standby, creating, or starting.

Your mds is still in the state "stopping". To get to standby, it needs
to finish that, then get to "boot" again (by being restarted), and
then it can enter standby.
On the other hand, I can reproduce the problem of an MDS just being in
state "stopping" for along time. I'll see what others have to say
about that.

Your mds is still in the state "stopping". It needs to finish that
first. If you've set max_mds==2, it should get to active once it's
done.

The word "relay" is never mentioned in the source tree. And seeing
that "o" in there makes me think you're typing these lines in. If
you're copying log lines to email, please use copy-paste and don't
type them in manually; variation from the exact message makes helping
you harder.
"replay" is when an MDS is starting up and reading its journal,
replaying the operations stored there against the final data storage.
"resolve" is when the MDSes go through their journals and figure out
how to handle operations that can cross MDS boundaries, such as
renames across directories.

I don't have a good answer to this one. The /1 in the 2/2/1 means your
max_mds really is 1. It might be a question of there being no
automatic transition from active to standby.
I can reproduce this problem locally, and will try to figure it out.
