For what it's worth, what you saw is kernel (i.e. client) side
breakage. You didn't mess up your Ceph cluster, nor your CephFS
metadata, nor any data. Also, anything you do in CephFS using a
release before Jewel must be considered experimental, and while things
will generally not break even on the client, you shouldn't be
surprised if they do. Thirdly, my recommendation for any Ceph
client-side kernel functionality (both rbd.ko and CephFS) would be to
use nothing older than a 4.x kernel.

A good update on the current state of CephFS is this tech talk, which
John Spray did in February:

Also, please don't ever do this:

    cluster 2a028d5e-5708-4fc4-9c0d-3495c1a3ef3d
     health HEALTH_OK
     monmap e2: 2 mons at
{ollie2=129.217.207.207:6789/0,stan2=129.217.207.206:6789/0}
            election epoch 12, quorum 0,1 stan2,ollie2
     mdsmap e10: 1/1/1 up {0=ollie2=up:active}, 1 up:standby
     osdmap e72: 8 osds: 8 up, 8 in
            flags sortbitwise
      pgmap v137: 428 pgs, 4 pools, 2396 bytes data, 20 objects
            281 MB used, 14856 GB / 14856 GB avail
                 428 active+clean

2 mons. Never, and I repeat never, run your Ceph cluster with 2 mons.
You want to run 3.

Cheers,
Florian
