I did wonder if that might be the case.

I have everything from fs/ceph and net/ceph as of 4.5, with adjustments
for different core code.

"can't read superblock".
dmesg contains

[   50.822479] libceph: client144098 fsid 2b73bc29-3e78-490a-8fc6-21da1bf901ba

then a hex dump of header:, front: footer:

Maybe my MDS is causing the problem?  It is based on v10.0.5 which
contains

#define CEPH_FEATURE_CRUSH_TUNABLES5    (1ULL<<58) /* chooseleaf stable mode */
// duplicated since it was introduced at the same time as CEPH_FEATURE_CRUSH_TUN
#define CEPH_FEATURE_NEW_OSDOPREPLY_ENCODING   (1ULL<<58) /* New, v7 encoding */

in ceph_features.h  i.e. two features using bit 58, but not
FS_FILE_LAYOUT_V2

Should I expect Linux 4.5 to work with ceph 10.0.5 ??
