Sorry. MogileFS is very different from the client end of the interface.
The part I was referring to was how the MogileFS data store can make use
of whatever disks that happen to be attached to existing servers. I'm not
aware of anyone using it to provide an OS level filesystem. That's not the
problem MogileFS attempts to solve. (It solves the problem: "Here, save
this data in at least two copies in this system and make sure it stays
that way. Don't ever lose track of this data. Help me find it later when I
need it.")
