Hi,

we're having a peculiar issue which we found out during HA/DR testing in our 
Ceph cluster.

Basic info about cluster: 
Version: Quincy (17.2.6)
5 nodes configured in stretch cluster (2 DCs with one arbiter node which is 
also admin node for the cluster)
On every node beside the admin node we have OSD and MON services. We have 3 MGR 
instances in cluster.

Specific thing that we wanted to test is multiple CephFS with each having 
multiple MDS (with HA in mind). 
We deployed MDS on every node, increased max_mds to 2 for every CephFS and 
other two MDS-es are in standby-replay mode (they are automatically configured 
during CephFS creation to follow specific CephFS - join_fscid).

We did multiple tests and when we have only one CephFS it behaves as expected 
(two MDS are in up:active state and clients can connect and interact with 
CephFS as if nothing has happened).

When we test with multiple CephFS (two for example) and we shutdown two nodes 
one of MDS is stuck in up:active laggy state and when this happens the CephFS 
for which this happens is unusable, client hangs and it is stuck like that 
until we power on other DC. This happens even when there are no clients 
connected to this specific CephFS.

We can provide additional logs and do any tests necessary. We checked the usual 
culprits and our nodes don't show any excessive CPU or memory usage.

We would appreciate any help.
