# [NAME](#NAME)

mount.fuse.ceph - mount ceph-fuse from /etc/fstab.

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

```
mount.fuse.ceph [-h] [-o OPTIONS [OPTIONS ...]]
device [device ...]
mountpoint [mount point ...]
```

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

**mount.fuse.ceph** is a helper for mounting ceph-fuse from **/etc/fstab**.

To use mount.fuse.ceph, add an entry in **/etc/fstab** like:

```
DEVICE    PATH        TYPE        OPTIONS
none      /mnt/ceph   fuse.ceph   ceph.id=admin,_netdev,defaults  0 0
none      /mnt/ceph   fuse.ceph   ceph.name=client.admin,_netdev,defaults  0 0
none      /mnt/ceph   fuse.ceph   ceph.id=myuser,ceph.conf=/etc/ceph/foo.conf,_netdev,defaults  0 0
```

ceph-fuse options are specified in the **OPTIONS** column and must begin with '**ceph.**' prefix. This way ceph related fs options will be passed to ceph-fuse and others will be ignored by ceph-fuse.

# [OPTIONS](#OPTIONS)

[**ceph.id=<username>**](#ceph.id=_username_)

Specify that the ceph-fuse will authenticate as the given user.

[**ceph.name=client.admin**](#ceph.name=client.admin)

Specify that the ceph-fuse will authenticate as client.admin

[**ceph.conf=/etc/ceph/foo.conf**](#ceph.conf=/etc/ceph/foo.conf)

Sets 'conf' option to /etc/ceph/foo.conf via ceph-fuse command line.

Any valid ceph-fuse options can be passed this way.

# [ADDITIONAL INFO](#ADDITIONAL_INFO)

The old format /etc/fstab entries are also supported:

```
DEVICE                              PATH        TYPE        OPTIONS
id=admin                            /mnt/ceph   fuse.ceph   defaults   0 0
