Description of problem (please be detailed as possible and provide log
snippests):
Customer is running into the following error:
 $ cat 0070-ceph_status.txt
  cluster:
    id:     676bfd6a-a4db-4545-a8b7-fcb3babc1c89
    health: HEALTH_WARN
            1 MDSs report oversized cache

Applying the steps described in https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5920011 (mainly setting the mds_cache_trim_threshold to 256K) the problem keeps reappearing:

[root@ocpbspapp1 ~]# oc rsh rook-ceph-mds-ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem-a-c45469c8gzzcp
sh-4.4# ceph daemon mds.ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem-a config get mds_cache_trim_threshold
{
    "mds_cache_trim_threshold": "262144"
}

Additional info:
Trying to exec into the cephfs-b pod (standby MDS) and running a dump cache fails with the following:
# oc exec -n openshift-storage <rook-ceph-mds-ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem-b-pod> -- ceph daemon mds.ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem-b dump cache > /tmp/mds.b.dump.cache"  "error": "cache usage exceeds dump threshold"

Files from the case are located on supportshell under '/cases/02979903' (this includes a recent dump (0060-mds-report.tar.gz) from earlier this morning) and an OCS must-gather (0050-must-gather.local.6519639462001087910.tar.gz).

--- Additional comment from RHEL Program Management on 2021-07-26 20:30:49 UTC ---

This bug having no release flag set previously, is now set with release flag 'ocs‑4.8.0' to '?', and so is being proposed to be fixed at the OCS 4.8.0 release. If this bug should be proposed for a different release, please manually remove the current proposed release flag and set a new one.

Note that the 3 Acks (pm_ack, devel_ack, qa_ack), if any previously set while release flag was missing, have now been reset since the Acks are to be set against a release flag

Because the KCS was suggested as part of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1944148, moving this to rook for initial triaging.

Patrick, can someone from cephfs take a look at this health warning?

--- Additional comment from Patrick Donnelly on 2021-08-02 18:08:58 UTC ---

Can you verify the MDS cache size?

    ceph config dump

And also the state of the file system:

    ceph fs dump

And which MDS is reporting the warning:

    ceph health detail

--- Additional comment from  on 2021-08-02 21:04:21 UTC ---

Patrick,

ceph.txt (the requested output) has been attached. The cluster is reporting HEALTH_OK atm so we can't see what MDS is reporting the warning.

If it reoccurs, please collect `ceph health detail`, `ceph fs dump`, and a perf dump of the mds `ceph daemon mds.<X> perf dump` (in a debug sidecar container).
