+Description
+===========
+
+:program:`ceph-disk` is a utility that can prepare and activate a disk, partition or
+directory as a Ceph OSD. It is run directly or triggered by :program:`ceph-deploy`
+or ``udev``. It can also be triggered by other deployment utilities like ``Chef``,
+``Juju``, ``Puppet`` etc.
+
+It actually automates the multiple steps involved in manual creation and start
+of an OSD into two steps of preparing and activating the OSD by using the
+subcommands ``prepare`` and ``activate``.
+
+:program:`ceph-disk` also automates the multiple steps involved to manually stop
+and destroy an OSD into two steps of deactivating and destroying the OSD by using
+the subcommands ``deactivate`` and ``destroy``.
+
+The documentation for each subcommand (prepare, activate, etc.) can be displayed
+with its ``--help`` option. For instance ``ceph-disk prepare --help``.

+Availability
