ceph mds getmap is something like "ceph osd getmap", it get the mdsmap in binary version, not for human-readable. So you would like to do " ceph mds getmap > mymdsmap "

Is it not worth having it in a human readable format? or atleast have a warning or a separate section for the "getmaps" command, having binary format, in general. Right now it is part of general ceph commands. So users wouldn't be expecting this e.g below:-
CEPH – CEPH ADMINISTRATION TOOL
ceph mds [ add_data_pool | cluster_down | cluster_up | compat | deactivate | dump | fail | getmap | newfs | remove_data_pool | rm | rmfailed | set | set_max_mds | set_state | stat | stop | tell ] ...
ceph mon [ add | dump | getmap | remove | stat ] ...

- Tracker changed from Bug to Documentation
ceph mds dump will give you human-readable version. Similar logical for "cpeh osd dump " and "ceph osd getmap"
Maybe a bit lack of documentation saying the output is binary. would you like to fix it ?
Updated by Rohith Radhakrishnan almost 8 years ago
It would be good to differentiate the commands which give binary output from the normal commands. Yeah, a bit of documentation in help would be sufficient for all the getmap commands in general.

- Status changed from New to Closed
mds getmap is deprecated in the latest code, so I don't think we'll be doing any new documentation of it.
