+========================
+ Mount CephFS using FUSE
+========================
+
+`ceph-fuse`_ is an alternate way of mounting CephFS, although it mounts it
+in userspace. Therefore, performance of FUSE can be relatively lower but FUSE
+clients can be more manageable, especially while upgrading CephFS.
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+Go through the prerequisites required by both, kernel as well as FUSE mounts,
+in `Mount CephFS: Prerequisites`_ page.
+
+.. note:: Mounting CephFS using FUSE requires superuser privileges to trim dentries
+   by issuing a remount of itself.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+In general, the command to mount CephFS via FUSE looks like this::
+
+    ceph-fuse {mountpoint} {options}
+
+Mounting CephFS
+===============
+To FUSE-mount the Ceph file system, use the ``ceph-fuse`` command::
+
+    mkdir /mnt/mycephfs
+    ceph-fuse --id foo /mnt/mycephfs
+
+Option ``-id`` passes the name of the CephX user whose keyring we intend to
+use for mounting CephFS. In the above command, it's ``foo``. You can also use
+``-n`` instead, although ``--id`` is evidently easier::
+
+    ceph-fuse -n client.foo /mnt/mycephfs
+
+In case the keyring is not present in standard locations, you may pass it
+too::
+
+    ceph-fuse --id foo -k /path/to/keyring /mnt/mycephfs
+
+You may pass the MON's socket too, although this is not mandatory::
+
+    ceph-fuse --id foo -m 192.168.0.1:6789 /mnt/mycephfs
+
+You can also mount a specific directory within CephFS instead of mounting
+root of CephFS on your local FS::
+
+    ceph-fuse --id foo -r /path/to/dir /mnt/mycephfs
+
+If you have more than one FS on your Ceph cluster, use the option
+``--client_fs`` to mount the non-default FS::
+
+    ceph-fuse --id foo --client_fs mycephfs2 /mnt/mycephfs2
+
+You may also add a ``client_fs`` setting to your ``ceph.conf``
+
+Unmounting CephFS
+=================
+
+Use ``umount`` to unmount CephFS like any other FS::
+
+    umount /mnt/mycephfs
+
+.. tip:: Ensure that you are not within the file system directories before
+   executing this command.
+
+Persistent Mounts
+=================
+
+To mount CephFS as a file system in user space, add the following to ``/etc/fstab``::
+
+       #DEVICE PATH       TYPE      OPTIONS
+       none    /mnt/mycephfs  fuse.ceph ceph.id={user-ID}[,ceph.conf={path/to/conf.conf}],_netdev,defaults  0 0
+
+For example::
+
+       none    /mnt/mycephfs  fuse.ceph ceph.id=myuser,_netdev,defaults  0 0
+       none    /mnt/mycephfs  fuse.ceph ceph.id=myuser,ceph.conf=/etc/ceph/foo.conf,_netdev,defaults  0 0
+
+Ensure you use the ID (e.g., ``myuser``, not ``client.myuser``). You can pass
+any valid ``ceph-fuse`` option to the command line this way.
+
+To mount a subdirectory of the CephFS, add the following to ``/etc/fstab``::
+
+       none    /mnt/mycephfs  fuse.ceph ceph.id=myuser,ceph.client_mountpoint=/path/to/dir,_netdev,defaults  0 0
+
+``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``. After making the fstab entry shown above,
+run following commands::
+
+    systemctl start ceph-fuse@/mnt/mycephfs.service
+    systemctl enable ceph-fuse.target
+    systemctl enable ceph-fuse@-mnt-mycephfs.service
+
+See :ref:`User Management <user-management>` for details on CephX user management and `ceph-fuse`_
+manual for more options it can take. For troubleshooting, see
+:ref:`ceph_fuse_debugging`.
