And another small piece of information: Needed to do another restart. This time I managed to capture the approximate length of the period for which the MDS is up and responsive after loading the cache (it reports stats). Its pretty much exactly 60 seconds. This smells like a timeout. Is there any MDS/ceph-fs related timeout with a 60s default somewhere?

The MDS might look busy but I'm not sure its doing anything interesting.

Is there a grace period for that as well?

It is still unresponsive, but it does show CPU load of between 150-200% and I really really hope that this is the trimming of stray items. I will try to find out if I get perf to work inside the container. For now, to facilitate trouble shooting, I will add a swap disk to every MDS host just to be on the safe side if stuff fails over. Just to get my hopes back: can someone (from the dev team) let me know if it is expected that an MDS is unresponsive during stray evaluation?
