+Ceph client configuration (optional)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Connecting to an external ceph storage doesn't always allow setting
+client-specific options in the config DB on the external cluster. You can add a
+`ceph.conf` beside the ceph keyring to change the ceph client configuration for
+the storage.
+
+The ceph.conf needs to have the same name as the storage.

+# /etc/pve/priv/ceph/<STORAGE_ID>.conf

+
+See the RBD configuration reference footnote:[RBD configuration reference
+{cephdocs-url}/rbd/rbd-config-ref/] for possible settings.
+
+NOTE: Do not change these settings lightly. {PVE} is merging the
+<STORAGE_ID>.conf with the storage configuration.
