+========================================
+ mount.ceph -- mount a ceph file system
+========================================
+
+.. program:: mount.ceph
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+| **mount.ceph** *monaddr1*\ [,\ *monaddr2*\ ,...]:/[*subdir*] *dir* [
+ -o *options* ]
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+**mount.ceph** is a simple helper for mounting the Ceph file system on
+a Linux host. It serves to resolve monitor hostname(s) into IP
+addresses and read authentication keys from disk; the Linux kernel
+client component does most of the real work. In fact, it is possible
+to mount a non-authenticated Ceph file system without mount.ceph by
+specifying monitor address(es) by IP::
+
+ mount -t ceph 1.2.3.4:/ mountpoint
+
+Each monitor address monaddr takes the form host[:port]. If the port
+is not specified, the Ceph default of 6789 is assumed.
+
+Multiple monitor addresses can be separated by commas. Only one
+responsible monitor is needed to successfully mount; the client will
+learn about all monitors from any responsive monitor. However, it is a
+good idea to specify more than one in case one happens to be down at
+the time of mount.
+
+A subdirectory subdir may be specified if a subset of the file system
+is to be mounted.
+
+Mount helper application conventions dictate that the first two
+options are device to be mounted and destination path. Options must be
+passed only after these fixed arguments.
+
+
+Options
+=======
+
+:command:`wsize`
+ int (bytes), max write size. Default: none (writeback uses smaller of wsize
+ and stripe unit)
+
+:command:`rsize`
+ int (bytes), max read size. Default: none
+
+:command:`rasize`
+ int (bytes), max readahead, multiple of 1024, Default: 8388608
+ (8192*1024)
+
+:command:`osdtimeout`
+ int (seconds), Default: 60
+
+:command:`osdkeepalive`
+ int, Default: 5
+
+:command:`mount_timeout`
+ int (seconds), Default: 60
+
+:command:`osd_idle_ttl`
+ int (seconds), Default: 60
+
+:command:`caps_wanted_delay_min`
+ int, cap release delay, Default: 5
+
+:command:`caps_wanted_delay_max`
+ int, cap release delay, Default: 60
+
+:command:`cap_release_safety`
+ int, Default: calculated
+
+:command:`readdir_max_entries`
+ int, Default: 1024
+
+:command:`readdir_max_bytes`
+ int, Default: 524288 (512*1024)
+
+:command:`write_congestion_kb`
+ int (kb), max writeback in flight. scale with available
+ memory. Default: calculated from available memory
+
+:command:`snapdirname`
+ string, set the name of the hidden snapdir. Default: .snap
+
+:command:`name`
+ RADOS user to authenticate as when using cephx. Default: guest
+
+:command:`secret`
+ secret key for use with cephx. This option is insecure because it exposes
+ the secret on the command line. To avoid this, use the secretfile option.
+
+:command:`secretfile`
+ path to file containing the secret key to use with cephx
+
+:command:`ip`
+ my ip
+
+:command:`noshare`
+ create a new client instance, instead of sharing an existing
+ instance of a client mounting the same cluster
+
+:command:`dirstat`
+ funky `cat dirname` for stats, Default: off
+
+:command:`nodirstat`
+ no funky `cat dirname` for stats
+
+:command:`rbytes`
+ Report the recursive size of the directory contents for st_size on
+ directories. Default: on
+
+:command:`norbytes`
+ Do not report the recursive size of the directory contents for
+ st_size on directories.
+
+:command:`nocrc`
+ no data crc on writes
+
+:command:`noasyncreaddir`
+ no dcache readdir
+
+
+Examples
+========
+
+Mount the full file system::
+
+ mount.ceph monhost:/ /mnt/foo
+
+If there are multiple monitors::
+
+ mount.ceph monhost1,monhost2,monhost3:/ /mnt/foo
+
+If :doc:`ceph-mon <ceph-mon>`\(8) is running on a non-standard
+port::
+
+ mount.ceph monhost1:7000,monhost2:7000,monhost3:7000:/ /mnt/foo
+
+To mount only part of the namespace::
+
+ mount.ceph monhost1:/some/small/thing /mnt/thing
+
+Assuming mount.ceph(8) is installed properly, it should be
+automatically invoked by mount(8) like so::
+
+ mount -t ceph monhost:/ /mnt/foo
+
+
+Availability
+============
+
+**mount.ceph** is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please
+refer to the Ceph documentation at http://ceph.com/docs for more
+information.
