Path restriction
================
Using CephFS
^^^^^^^^^^^^
-To run and use the Ceph File System, you must have a running Ceph Storage
-Cluster with at least one :term:`Ceph Metadata Server` running.
+Using CephFS with a running Ceph Storage Cluster requires at least one active
+:doc:`Metadata Server (MDS) daemon </cephfs/add-remove-mds>`, :doc:`creating
+the file system </cephfs/createfs>`, selecting a mount mechanism for clients
+(:doc:`FUSE </cephfs/fuse>` or :doc:`kernel driver </cephfs/kernel>`), and
+configuring :doc:`authentication credentials </cephfs/client-auth>` for
+clients.
+
+For setting up CephFS quickly, checkout the :doc:`CephFS Quick Start document
+</start/quick-cephfs>`.
