====================================
Mount CephFS with the Kernel Driver
====================================
It is recommended to install the ``/sbin/mount.ceph`` kernel mount
helper if working with the kernel cephfs driver. To mount CephFS with
the kernel driver you may use the ``mount`` command::
# mkdir /mnt/mycephfs
# mount -t ceph :/ /mnt/mycephfs
Omitting the monitor addresses will cue ``mount.ceph`` to look them up
in the local configuration file. If you know at least one of the monitor
addresses and ports you can specify them directly in a comma-separated
list, and the kernel will avoid looking them up::
# mount -t ceph 192.168.0.1:6789,192.168.0.2:6789:/ /mnt/mycephfs
To mount a subtree of the cephfs root, append the path to the device
string ::
# mount -t ceph :/subvolume/dir1/dir2 /mnt/mycephfs -o name=fs
To mount the Ceph file system with ``cephx`` authentication enabled, the
kernel must authenticate with the cluster. The default ``name=`` option
is ``guest``. The mount.ceph helper will automatically attempt to find
a secret key in a cephx keyring if it's not specified. For example, to
mount the filesystem as the cephx user ``fs``::
# mount -t ceph :/ /mnt/mycephfs -o name=fs
The secret can also be specified manually with the ``secret=`` option.::
# mount -t ceph :/ /mnt/mycephfs -o name=fs,secret=AQATSKdNGBnwLhAAnNDKnH65FmVKpXZJVasUeQ==
For legacy usage, mount.ceph can be told to read a lone secret from a
file. For example::
# mount -t ceph :/ /mnt/mycephfs -o name=fs,secretfile=/etc/ceph/admin.secret
See `User Management`_ for details on cephx.
If you have more than one file system, specify which one to mount using
the ``mds_namespace`` option, e.g.::
# mount -t ceph :/ -o name=fs,mds_namespace=myfs
To unmount the Ceph file system, you may use the ``umount`` command. For example::
# umount /mnt/mycephfs
.. tip:: Ensure that you are not within the file system directories before
executing this command.
See `mount.ceph`_ for details. For troubleshooting, see :ref:`kernel_mount_debugging`.
