In Ubuntu mount.fuse.ceph is provided by ceph-fuse package.

Ceph is a distributed network file system designed to provide excellent performance, reliability, and scalability. This is a FUSE-based client that allows one to mount a Ceph file system without root privileges.

Because the FUSE-based client has certain inherent performance limitations, it is recommended that the native Linux kernel client be used if possible. If it is not practical to load a kernel module (insufficient privileges, older kernel, etc.), then the FUSE client will do.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install ceph-fuse

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.
