Hi Frank,
Are you able to share any logs from the mds that's crashing? And just to
confirm the rank goes into up:active before eventually OOM ?
This sounds familiar-ish but i'm also recovering after a nearly 24 hour
bender of another ceph related recovery.....trying to rack my brain of
similar issues we've seen.
Is there much swap space available to the node as well? In the event the
daemon is actually making progress but just has lack of resources you
may need to extend the time it can remain up with swap.

Hi all,
we seem to have a serious issue with our file system, ceph version is pacific latest. After a large cleanup operation we had an MDS rank with 100Mio stray entries (yes, one hundred million). Today we restarted this daemon, which cleans up the stray entries. It seems that this leads to a restart loop due to OOM. The rank becomes active and then starts pulling in DNS and INOS entries until all memory is exhausted.
I have no idea if there is at least progress removing the stray items or if it starts from scratch every time. If it needs to pull as many DNS/INOS into cache as there are stray items, we don't have a server at hand with enough RAM.
Q1: Is the MDS at least making progress in every restart iteration?
Q2: If not, how do we get this rank up again?
Q3: If we can't get this rank up soon, can we at least move directories away from this rank by pinning it to another rank?
Currently, the rank in question reports .mds_cache.num_strays=0 in perf dump.
