MogileFS isn't really a file system. There is a FUSE plugin but nobody really wants to use it that way. It works basically identically to S3 and Swift for a single tenant, though its APIs is a native protocol instead of HTTP (uploads and downloads are still HTTP). It doesn't have the concept of "containers" and is just a big flat key/value store, and it doesn't have multi-tenants, but it is basically a predecessor of today's object stores. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
