This is very common issue. Deleting mdsX_openfiles.Y has become part of
my standard maintenance repertoire. As soon as you have a few more
clients and one of them starts opening and closing files in rapid
succession (or does other metadata-heavy things), it becomes very likely
that the MDS crashes and is unable to recover.
There have been numerous fixes in the past, which improved the overall
stability, but it is far from perfect. I am happy to see another patch
in that direction, but I believe more effort needs to be spent here. It
is way too easy to DoS the MDS from a single client. Our 78-node CephFS
beats our old NFS RAID server in terms of throughput, but latency and
stability are way behind.

Excellent!

Thank you very much! This solution helped:
Stop all MDS, then:
# rados -p cephfs_metadata_pool rm mds0_openfiles.0
then start one MDS.
We are back online. Amazing!!! :)

Please also make sure the mds_beacon_grace is high on the mon's too.
it doesn't matter which mds you select to be the running one.
Is the processing getting killed, restarted?
If you're confident that the mds is getting OOM killed during rejoin
step, then you might find this useful:

Yes, MDS eats all memory+swap, stays like this for a moment and then
frees memory.
mds_beacon_grace was already set to 1800
Also on other it is seen this message: Map has assigned me to become a
standby.
Does it matter, which MDS we stop and which we leave running?

How many active MDS's did you have? (max_mds == 1, right?)
Stop the other two MDS's so you can focus on getting exactly one running.
Tail the log file and see what it is reporting.
Increase mds_beacon_grace to 600 so that the mon doesn't fail this MDS
while it is rejoining.
Is that single MDS running out of memory during the rejoin phase?

Hello community,
we are on ceph 13.2.8 - today something happenned with one MDS and cephs
status tells, that filesystem is degraded. It won't mount either. I have
take server with MDS, that was not working down. There are 2 more MDS
servers, but they stay in "rejoin" state. Also only 1 is shown in
"services", even though there are 2.
Both running MDS servers have these lines in their logs:
heartbeat_map is_healthy 'MDSRank' had timed out after 15
mds.beacon.mds2 Skipping beacon heartbeat to monitors (last acked
28.8979s ago); MDS internal heartbeat is not healthy!
On one of MDS nodes I enabled more detailed debug, so I am getting there
also:
mds.beacon.mds3 Sending beacon up:standby seq 178
mds.beacon.mds3 received beacon reply up:standby seq 178 rtt 0.000999968
Makes no sense and too much stress in my head... Anyone could help please?
Anton.
