+qa/standalone
+=============
+
+These scripts run standalone clusters, but not in a normal way. They make
+use of functions ceph-helpers.sh to quickly start/stop daemons against
+toy clusters in a single directory.
+
+They are normally run via teuthology based on qa/suites/rados/standalone/*.yaml.
+
+You can run them in a git checkout + build directory as well:
+
+ * The qa/run-standalone.sh will run all of them in sequence. This is slow
+ since there is no parallelism.
+
+ * You can run an individual script by passing these environment args. For
+ example, if you are in the build/ directory,
+
+PATH=$PATH:bin CEPH_ROOT=.. CEPH_LIB=lib ../qa/standalone/mon/misc.sh
