 The basic mount syntax is::
 
- # mount -t ceph monip[:port][,monip2[:port]...]:/[subdir] mnt
+ # mount -t ceph user@fsid.fs_name=/[subdir] mnt -o mon_addr=monip1[:port][/monip2[:port]]
 
 You only need to specify a single monitor, as the client will get the
 full list when it connects.  (However, if the monitor you specify

+Multiple monitor addresses can be passed by separating each address with a slash (`/`)::

+When using the mount helper, monitor address can be read from ceph

 Mount Options
 =============
 
+  mon_addr=ip_address[:port][/ip_address[:port]]
+	Monitor address to the cluster. This is used to bootstrap the

+
+  fsid=cluster-id
+	FSID of the cluster (from `ceph fsid` command).
+
   ip=A.B.C.D[:N]
 	Specify the IP and/or port the client should bind to locally.
 	There is normally not much reason to do this.  If the IP is not
