# Ceph RADOS storage driver
An implementation of the `storagedriver.StorageDriver` interface which uses
[Ceph RADOS Object Storage][rados] for storage backend.

(case-sensitive):
* `poolname`: Name of the Ceph pool
* `username` *optional*: The user to connect as (i.e. admin, not client.admin)
* `chunksize` *optional*: Size of the written RADOS objects. Default value is
4MB (4194304).
This drivers loads the [Ceph client configuration][rados-config] from the
following regular paths (the first found is used):
* `$CEPH_CONF` (environment variable)
* `/etc/ceph/ceph.conf`
* `~/.ceph/config`
* `ceph.conf` (in the current working directory)
## Developing
To include this driver when building Docker Distribution, use the build tag
