+=================
+ Ceph File System
+=================
+
+The Ceph File System, or **CephFS**, is a POSIX-compliant file system built on
+top of Ceph's distributed object store, **RADOS**. CephFS endeavors to provide
+a state-of-the-art, multi-use, highly available, and performant file store for
+a variety of applications, including traditional use-cases like shared home
+directories, HPC scratch space, and distributed workflow shared storage.
+
+CephFS achieves these goals through the use of some novel architectural
+choices.  Notably, file metadata is stored in a separate RADOS pool from file
+data and served via a resizable cluster of *Metadata Servers*, or **MDS**,
+which may scale to support higher throughput metadata workloads.  Clients of
+the file system have direct access to RADOS for reading and writing file data
+blocks. For this reason, workloads may linearly scale with the size of the
+underlying RADOS object store; that is, there is no gateway or broker mediating
+data I/O for clients.
+
+Access to data is coordinated through the cluster of MDS which serve as
+authorities for the state of the distributed metadata cache cooperatively
+maintained by clients and MDS. Mutations to metadata are aggregated by each MDS
+into a series of efficient writes to a journal on RADOS; no metadata state is
+stored locally by the MDS. This model allows for coherent and rapid
+collaboration between clients within the context of a POSIX file system.

+
+CephFS is the subject of numerous academic papers for its novel designs and
+contributions to file system research. It is the oldest storage interface in
+Ceph and was once the primary use-case for RADOS.  Now it is joined by two
+other storage interfaces to form a modern unified storage system: RBD (Ceph
+Block Devices) and RGW (Ceph Object Storage Gateway).

+
+Getting Started with CephFS
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+For most deployments of Ceph, setting up a CephFS file system is as simple as:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+    ceph fs volume create <fs name>
+
+The Ceph `Orchestrator`_  will automatically create and configure MDS for
+your file system if the back-end deployment technology supports it (see
+`Orchestrator deployment table`_). Otherwise, please `deploy MDS manually
+as needed`_.
+
+Finally, to mount CephFS on your client nodes, see `Mount CephFS:
+Prerequisites`_ page. Additionally, a command-line shell utility is available
+for interactive access or scripting via the `cephfs-shell`_.
