+=========================================
+ ceph-mds -- ceph metadata server daemon
+=========================================
+
+.. program:: ceph-mds
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+| **ceph-mds** -i <*ID*> [flags]
+
+
+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.
+
+
+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:: --id/-i ID
+
+ Set ID portion of the MDS name. The ID should not start with a numeric digit.
+
+.. option:: --name/-n TYPE.ID
+
+ Set the MDS name of the format TYPE.ID. The TYPE is obviously 'mds'.
+ The ID should not start with a numeric digit.
+
+Availability
+============
+
+**ceph-mds** is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please refer to the Ceph documentation at
+https://docs.ceph.com for more information.
