Introduction

The Ceph Filesystem, also known as CephFS, is a POSIX-compliant filesystem that uses the Ceph storage cluster to store user data. CephFS supports the native Linux kernel driver, which makes CephFS highly adaptive across any flavor of the Linux OS. In this chapter, we will cover the Ceph Filesystem in detail, including its deployment, understanding the kernel driver and FUSE, as well as CephFS for Windows clients.
