Hello Sake, The combination of two active MDSs and RHEL8 does ring a bell, and I have seen this with Quincy, too. However, what's relevant is the kernel version on the clients. If they run the default 4.18.x kernel from RHEL8, please either upgrade to the mainline kernel or decrease max_mds to 1. If they run a modern kernel, then it is something I do not know about.

It dropped to 77,8% when it was done. When the rsync for app4 was running it increased to 84% and dropping to 80%.
