+=========================================
+ ceph-mds -- ceph metadata server daemon
+=========================================
+
+.. program:: ceph-mds
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+| **ceph-mds** -i *name* [ --hot-standby [*rank*] ]
+
+
+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.
+
+If you specify hot-standby, you must either specify the rank on the command
+line, or specify one of the mds_standby_for_[rank|name] parameters in the
+config.  The command line specification overrides the config, and specifying
+the rank overrides specifying the name.
+
+
+Options
+=======
+
+.. option:: -f, --foreground
+
+   Foreground: do not daemonize after startup (run in foreground). Do
+   not generate a pid file. Useful when run via :doc:`ceph-run
+   <ceph-run>`\(8).
+
+.. option:: -d
+
+   Debug mode: like ``-f``, but also send all log output to stderr.
+
+.. option:: --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.
+
+.. option:: --setgroup grouporgid
+
+   Set gid after starting.  If a group name is specified the group
+   record is looked up to get a gid.
+
+.. option:: -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.
+
+.. option:: -m monaddress[:port]
+
+   Connect to specified monitor (instead of looking through
+   ``ceph.conf``).
+
+.. option:: --hot-standby <rank>
+
+    Start as a hot standby for MDS <rank>.
+
+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.
