Mounting the File System to the Clients
- Log in to any client node and check the key used for the client node to access the Ceph cluster.
1cat /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring
You only need to run the command once. The keys for server nodes and client nodes are the same.
- Create a file system mount point on each client node.
1mkdir /mnt/cephfs - Run the following command on each client node:
1mount -t ceph 192.168.3.166:6789,192.168.3.167:6789,192.168.3.168:6789:/ /mnt/cephfs -o name=admin,secret=Key_queried_in_step_1,sync

The default MON port number is 6789. The -o parameter specifies the user name and password for logging in to the cluster.
- Check whether the file system is successfully mounted to each client node and whether the file system type is ceph.
