11 One or more MDS daemons is required to use the :term:`CephFS` file system.
12 These are created automatically if the newer ``ceph fs volume``
13 interface is used to create a new file system. For more information,
14 see :ref:`fs-volumes-and-subvolumes`.
20 ceph fs volume create <fs_name> --placement="<placement spec>"
22 where ``fs_name`` is the name of the CephFS and ``placement`` is a
23 :ref:`orchestrator-cli-placement-spec`. For example, to place
24 MDS daemons for the new ``foo`` volume on hosts labeled with ``mds``:
28 ceph fs volume create foo --placement="label:mds"
30 You can also update the placement after-the-fact via:
34 ceph orch apply mds foo 'mds-[012]'
36 For manually deploying MDS daemons, use this specification:
47 The specification can then be applied using:
51 ceph orch apply -i mds.yaml
53 See :ref:`orchestrator-cli-stateless-services` for manually deploying
54 MDS daemons on the CLI.
