Yes, you can adjust the desired number of active MDSs with "ceph mds set max_mds <number>". When you are decreasing it, you will also need to tell ceph which MDS you would like to lose. So for example, if you have two active MDSs, and you want to only have one, you would run: ceph mds set max_mds 1 ceph mds deactivate 1 If you look at ceph status, you will see one MDS go into "up:stopping" state for a while, before eventually going to standby.
