For example:: + + sudo mkdir /mnt/mycephfs + sudo mount -t ceph 192.168.0.1:6789:/ /mnt/mycephfs + +To mount the Ceph file system with ``cephx`` authentication enabled, you must +specify a user name and a secret. :: + + sudo mount -t ceph 192.168.0.1:6789:/ /mnt/mycephfs -o name=admin,secret=AQATSKdNGBnwLhAAnNDKnH65FmVKpXZJVasUeQ== + +The foregoing usage leaves the secret in the Bash history. A more secure +approach reads the secret from a file. For example:: + + sudo mount -t ceph 192.168.0.1:6789:/ /mnt/mycephfs -o name=admin,secretfile=/etc/ceph/admin.secret + +See `Authentication`_ for details on cephx. + +To unmount the Ceph file system, you may use the ``umount`` command.
