NAME

6       mount.ceph - mount a ceph file system
7

SYNOPSIS

9       mount.ceph monaddr1[,monaddr2,...]:/[subdir] dir [ -o options ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       mount.ceph  is  a  simple helper for mounting the Ceph file system on a
13       Linux host.  The only real purpose it  serves  is  to  resolve  monitor
14       hostname(s)  into  IP addresses; the Linux kernel client component does
15       most of the real work.  In fact, it is possible to mount  a  Ceph  file
16       system without mount.ceph by specifying monitor address(es) by IP:
17
18              mount -t ceph 1.2.3.4:/ mountpoint
19
20       Each  monitor  address monaddr takes the form host[:port].  If the port
21       is not specified, the Ceph default of 6789 is assumed.
22
23       Multiple monitor addresses  can  be  separated  by  commas.   Only  one
24       responsible  monitor  is  needed to successfully mount; the client will
25       learn about all monitors from any responsive monitor.  However, it is a
26       good  idea  to  specify more than one in case one happens to be down at
27       the time of mount.
28
29       A subdirectory subdir may be specified if a subset of the  file  system
30       is to be mounted.

EXAMPLES

33       Mount the full file system:
34
35              mount.ceph monhost:/ /mnt/foo
36
37       If there are multiple monitors:
38
39              mount.ceph monhost1,monhost2,monhost3:/ /mnt/foo
40
41       If cmon(8) is running on a non-standard port:
42
43              mount.ceph monhost1:7000,monhost2:7000,monhost3:7000:/ /mnt/foo
44
45       To mount only part of the namespace:
46
47              mount.ceph monhost1:/some/small/thing /mnt/thing
48
49       Assuming  mount.ceph(8)  is  installed properly, it should be automati‐
50       cally invoked by mount(8) like so:
51
52              mount -t ceph monhost:/ /mnt/foo
53

AVAILABILITY

55       mount.ceph is part of the Ceph distributed file system.   Please  refer
56       to the Ceph wiki at http://ceph.newdream.net/wiki for more information.
