We're trying to determine the root cause of a CephFS outage. We have three
MDS ranks with active-standby.
During the outage, several MDSs crashed. The timeline of the crashes was:
2025-04-13T14:19:45 mds.r-cephfs-hdd-f on node06.internal
2025-04-13T14:38:35 mds.r-cephfs-hdd-a on node02.internal
2025-04-13T14:38:37 mds.r-cephfs-hdd-b on node07.internal
2025-04-13T14:38:38 mds.r-cephfs-hdd-d on node05.internal
2025-04-13T14:48:52 mds.r-cephfs-hdd-e on node08.internal
2025-04-13T14:54:12 mds.r-cephfs-hdd-f on node06.internal
At around 3pm, the file system recovered by itself.
For all six crashes, the MDS logged this as the reason of the crash:
ceph-mds:
/home/jenkins-build/build/workspace/ceph-build/ARCH/x86_64/AVAILABLE_ARCH/x86_64/AVAILABLE_DIST/centos9/DIST/centos9/MACHINE_SIZE/gigantic/release/19.2.1/rpm/el9/BUILD/ceph-19.2.1/redhat-linux-build/boost/include/boost/smart_ptr/intrusive_ptr.hpp:201:
T* boost::intrusive_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = MDRequestImpl]:
Assertion `px != 0' failed.
For the earliest crash, here's the `ceph crash info` output:

Do you have ideas what could cause these crashes or how we could
troubleshoot further? We're happy to provide more information if that'd
help.
