.TH MOUNT.CEPH 8
.SH NAME
mount.ceph \- mount a ceph file system
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mount.ceph
\fImonaddr1\fR[,\fImonaddr2\fR,...]:/[\fIsubdir\fR]
\fIdir\fR
[ \fB\-o \fIoptions\fR ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B mount.ceph
is a simple helper for mounting the Ceph file system on a Linux host.
The only real purpose it serves is to resolve monitor hostname(s) into
IP addresses; the Linux kernel client component does most of the real
work.  In fact, it is possible to mount a Ceph file system without
.B mount.ceph
by specifying monitor address(es) by IP:
.IP
mount -t ceph 1.2.3.4:/ mountpoint
.PP
Each monitor address \fImonaddr\fR takes the form
\fIhost\fR[:\fIport\fP].  If the port is not specified, the Ceph
default of \fI6789\fP is assumed.  
.PP
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.
.PP
A subdirectory \fIsubdir\fP may be specified if a subset of the file system is to be
mounted.

.SH EXAMPLES
Mount the full file system:
.IP
mount.ceph monhost:/ /mnt/foo
.PP
If there are multiple monitors:
.IP
mount.ceph monhost1,monhost2,monhost3:/ /mnt/foo
.PP
If 
.BR cmon (8)
is running on a non-standard port:
.IP
mount.ceph monhost1:7000,monhost2:7000,monhost3:7000:/ /mnt/foo
.PP
To mount only part of the namespace:
.IP
mount.ceph monhost1:/some/small/thing /mnt/thing
.PP
Assuming
.BR mount.ceph (8)
is installed properly, it should be automatically invoked by
.BR mount (8)
like so:
.IP
mount -t ceph monhost:/ /mnt/foo
.SH AVAILABILITY
.B mount.ceph
is part of the Ceph distributed file system.  Please refer to the Ceph wiki at
