If you can offer help, please send a PM directly back to me. Short description with links to what we found out already: We experience a total outage of access to our ceph file system due to MDS rank 2 getting hung on startup. It does not crash. This rank has .mds_cache.num_strays=99446248 and the initial processing of stray items leads to a producer-consumer deadlock that prevents this rank from becoming responsive. On startup approximately 37Mio stray items can be scheduled for purging before the dead lock occurs. The cluster is healthy otherwise. Ceph version is 16.2.15 (618f440892089921c3e944a991122ddc44e60516) pacific (stable). We have deployed a rescue server with large amount of RAM and swap that we can make accessible remotely. On this rescue server we have an MDS up on rank 2 for trouble shooting and this is all working fine.
