After you've decreased max_mds, use "ceph mds deactivate <rank>" on the ranks you want to get rid of. If you had two active MDSs, you would use that with rank=1. Once you've done that, your second MDS will go into state 'stopping', and after about 30 seconds (use ceph -w to follow progress) it will go back into state 'standby', at which point your cluster has been shrunk successfully.
