I need to NFS=20 share it to systems so they can access it as NFS clients. Besides,=20 MogileFS doesn't even sound like a filesystem: From the website: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D MogileFS is not: * POSIX Compliant -- you don't run regular Unix applications or=20 databases against MogileFS. It's meant for archiving write-once files=20 and doing only sequential reads. (though you can modify a file by way of = overwriting it with a new version) =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D As far as your clustre fs goes, I need to see more info. You mentioned=20 it's wonderful features to me, but I'd like to see a website to read=20 more, and download source code..
