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.
31
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 automatiā
50 cally invoked by mount(8) like so:
51
52 mount -t ceph monhost:/ /mnt/foo
53
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.
