Type: String
Required: No
Default: /var/run/ceph/$cluster-$name.asok

pid file

Description: The file in which the mon, osd or mds will write its PID. For instance, /var/run/$cluster/$type.$id.pid will create /var/run/ceph/mon.a.pid for the mon with id a running in the ceph cluster. The pid file is removed when the daemon stops gracefully. If the process is not daemonized (i.e. runs with the -f or -d option), the pid file is not created.

Type: String
Required: No
Default: /

max open files
