CephFS Administrative commands

Filesystems

These commands operate on the CephFS filesystems in your Ceph cluster. Note that by default only one filesystem is permitted: to enable creation of multiple filesystems use ceph fs flag set enable_multiple true.

fs new <filesystem name> <metadata pool name> <data pool name>

fs ls

fs rm <filesystem name> [--yes-i-really-mean-it]

fs reset <filesystem name>

fs get <filesystem name>

fs set <filesystem name> <var> <val>

fs add_data_pool <filesystem name> <pool name/id>

fs rm_data_pool <filesystem name> <pool name/id>

Daemons

These commands act on specific mds daemons or ranks. For convenience, they accept arguments that

mds fail <gid/name/role

mds deactivate <role>

tell mds.<daemon name>

mds metadata <gid/name/role>

mds repaired <role>

Global settings

fs dump

fs flag set <flag name> <flag val> [<confirmation string>]

flag name must be one of ['enable_multiple']

some flags require you to confirm your intentions with "--yes-i-really-mean-it"
or a similar string they will prompt you with. Consider these actions carefully
before proceeding; they are placed on especially dangerous activities.

Advanced

These commands are not required in normal operation, and exist for use in exceptional circumstances. Incorrect use of these commands may cause serious problems, such as an inaccessible filesystem.
