NAME
ceph-mds - ceph metadata server daemon
SYNOPSIS
ceph-mds -i <ID> [flags]
DESCRIPTION
ceph-mds is the metadata server daemon for the Ceph distributed file system. One or more instances of ceph-mds collectively manage the file system namespace, coordinating access to the shared OSD cluster.
Each ceph-mds daemon instance should have a unique name. The name is used to identify daemon instances in the ceph.conf.
Once the daemon has started, the monitor cluster will normally assign it a logical rank, or put it in a standby pool to take over for another daemon that crashes. Some of the specified options can cause other behaviors.
OPTIONS
-f, --foreground
Foreground: do not daemonize after startup (run in foreground). Do not generate a pid file. Useful when run via ceph-run(8).
|
-d |
Debug mode: like -f, but also send all log output to stderr. |
--setuser userorgid
Set uid after starting. If a username is specified, the user record is looked up to get a uid and a gid, and the gid is also set as well, unless --setgroup is also specified.
--setgroup grouporgid
Set gid after starting. If a group name is specified the group record is looked up to get a gid.
-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).
--id/-i ID
Set ID portion of the MDS name.
AVAILABILITY
ceph-mds is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please refer to the Ceph documentation at http://ceph.com/docs for more information.
