+=========================
+Mount Ceph FS using FUSE
+=========================
+
+Before mounting a Ceph File System in User Space (FUSE), ensure that the client
+host has a copy of the Ceph configuration file and a keyring with CAPS for the
+Ceph metadata server.
+
+#. From your client host, copy the Ceph configuration file from the monitor host 
+   to the ``/etc/ceph`` directory. :: 
+
+	sudo mkdir -p /etc/ceph
+	sudo scp {user}@{server-machine}:/etc/ceph/ceph.conf /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
+
+#. From your client host, copy the Ceph keyring from the monitor host to 
+   to the ``/etc/ceph`` directory. :: 
+
+	sudo scp {user}@{server-machine}:/etc/ceph/ceph.keyring /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring
+
+#. Ensure that the Ceph configuration file and the keyring have appropriate 
+   permissions set on your client machine  (e.g., ``chmod 644``).
+
+For additional details on ``cephx`` configuration, see 
+`CEPHX Config Reference`_.
+
+To mount the Ceph file system as a FUSE, you may use the ``ceph-fuse`` command.
+For example::
+
+	sudo mkdir /home/usernname/cephfs
+	sudo ceph-fuse -m 192.168.0.1:6789 /home/username/cephfs
+
+If you have more than one filesystem, specify which one to mount using
+the ``--client_mds_namespace`` command line argument, or add a
+``client_mds_namespace`` setting to your ``ceph.conf``.
+
+See `ceph-fuse`_ for additional details.
+
+To automate mounting ceph-fuse, you may add an entry to the system fstab_.
+Additionally, ``ceph-fuse@.service`` and ``ceph-fuse.target`` systemd units are
+available. As usual, these unit files declare the default dependencies and
+recommended execution context for ``ceph-fuse``. An example ceph-fuse mount on
+``/mnt`` would be::
+
+	sudo systemctl start ceph-fuse@/mnt.service
+
+A persistent mount point can be setup via::
+
+	sudo systemctl enable ceph-fuse@/mnt.service
