+### MDS Resources Configuration Settings
+
+The format of the resource requests/limits structure is the same as described in the [Ceph Cluster CRD documentation](ceph-cluster-crd.md#resource-requirementslimits).
+
+If the memory resource limit is declared Rook will automatically set the MDS configuration `mds_cache_memory_limit`. The configuration value is calculated with the aim that the actual MDS memory consumption remains consistent with the MDS pods' resource declaration.
+
+In order to provide the best possible experience running Ceph in containers, Rook internally recommends the memory for MDS daemons to be at least 4096MB.
+If a user configures a limit or request value that is too low, Rook will still run the pod(s) and print a warning to the operator log.
