=================
Ceph Filesystem
=================
The :term:`Ceph Filesystem` (Ceph FS) is a POSIX-compliant filesystem that uses
a Ceph Storage Cluster to store its data. The Ceph filesystem uses the same Ceph
Storage Cluster system as Ceph Block Devices, Ceph Object Storage with its S3
and Swift APIs, or native bindings (librados).
.. important:: CephFS currently lacks a robust 'fsck' check and
repair function. Please use caution when storing
important data as the disaster recovery tools are
still under development. For more information about
using CephFS today, see :doc:`/cephfs/early-adopters`

Using the Ceph Filesystem requires at least one :term:`Ceph Metadata Server` in
your Ceph Storage Cluster.

To run the Ceph Filesystem, you must have a running Ceph Storage Cluster with at
least one :term:`Ceph Metadata Server` running.

Once you have a healthy Ceph Storage Cluster with at least
one Ceph Metadata Server, you may create and mount your Ceph Filesystem.
Ensure that you client has network connectivity and the proper
authentication keyring.
