Just as suddenly the problem went away and I can no longer reproduce the crash on startup. Very frustrating. Most likely it still crashed during heavy use but that can take days.

I've just upgraded librbd to dumpling (from cuttlefish) on that one server and will see what it's doing by morning. I'll disable merging when I can reproduce it next.

Thanks
