5 =======================================
12 | **rbd-fuse** [ -p pool ] [-c conffile] *mountpoint* [ *fuse options* ]
18 **rbd-fuse** is a FUSE (File system in USErspace) client for RADOS
19 block device (rbd) images. Given a pool containing rbd images,
20 it will mount a userspace filesystem allowing access to those images
21 as regular files at **mountpoint**.
23 The file system can be unmounted with::
25 fusermount -u mountpoint
27 or by sending ``SIGINT`` to the ``rbd-fuse`` process.
33 Any options not recognized by rbd-fuse will be passed on to libfuse.
35 .. option:: -c ceph.conf
37 Use *ceph.conf* configuration file instead of the default
38 ``/etc/ceph/ceph.conf`` to determine monitor addresses during startup.
42 Use *pool* as the pool to search for rbd images. Default is ``rbd``.
48 **rbd-fuse** is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please refer to
49 the Ceph documentation at http://ceph.com/docs for more information.
