One or more instances of \fBceph\-mon\fP form a Paxos part\-time parliament cluster that provides extremely reliable and durable storage of cluster membership, configuration, and state. .sp The \fImondatapath\fP refers to a directory on a local file system storing monitor data. It is normally specified via the \fBmon data\fP option in the configuration file. .SH OPTIONS .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-f, \-\-foreground Foreground: do not daemonize after startup (run in foreground). Do not generate a pid file. Useful when run via \fBceph\-run\fP(8). .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-d Debug mode: like \fB\-f\fP, but also send all log output to stderr. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-c ceph.conf, \-\-conf=ceph.conf Use \fIceph.conf\fP configuration file instead of the default \fB/etc/ceph/ceph.conf\fP to determine monitor addresses during startup. .UNINDENT .SH AVAILABILITY .sp \fBceph\-mon\fP is part of the Ceph distributed file system. Please refer to the Ceph wiki at \fI\%http://ceph.newdream.net/wiki\fP for more information. .SH SEE ALSO .sp \fBceph\fP(8), \fBceph\-mds\fP(8), \fBceph\-osd\fP(8) .SH COPYRIGHT 2011, New Dream Network .\" Generated by docutils manpage writer. .\" .
