To build the server daemons, and FUSE client,
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ cd src

cmonctl -- send commands to the monitor cluster.
userland clients:
cfuse -- fuse client.
csyn -- synthetic workload generator client.
tools:
mkmonfs -- create a fresh monfs (for a new filesystem)
monmaptool -- create/edit mon map
osdmaptool -- create/edit osd map
