ceph-fuse – FUSE-based client for ceph
Synopsis
Description
ceph-fuse is a FUSE (“Filesystem in USErspace”) client for Ceph distributed file system. It will mount a ceph file system specified via the -m option or described by ceph.conf (see below) at the specific mount point. See Mount CephFS using FUSE for detailed information.
The file system can be unmounted with:
fusermount -u mountpoint
or by sending SIGINT
to the ceph-fuse
process.
Options
Any options not recognized by ceph-fuse will be passed on to libfuse.
- -o opt,[opt...]
Mount options.
- -c ceph.conf, --conf=ceph.conf
Use ceph.conf configuration file instead of the default
/etc/ceph/ceph.conf
to determine monitor addresses during startup.
- -m monaddress[:port]
Connect to specified monitor (instead of looking through ceph.conf).
- -n client.{cephx-username}
Pass the name of CephX user whose secret key is be to used for mounting.
- --id <client-id>
Pass the name of CephX user whose secret key is be to used for mounting.
--id
takes just the ID of the client in contrast to-n
. For example,--id 0
for usingclient.0
.
- -k <path-to-keyring>
Provide path to keyring; useful when it’s absent in standard locations.
- --client_mountpoint/-r root_directory
Use root_directory as the mounted root, rather than the full Ceph tree.
- -f
Foreground: do not daemonize after startup (run in foreground). Do not generate a pid file.
- -d
Run in foreground, send all log output to stderr and enable FUSE debugging (-o debug).
- -s
Disable multi-threaded operation.
- --client_fs
Pass the name of Ceph FS to be mounted. Not passing this option mounts the default Ceph FS on the Ceph cluster.
