Store and access files across a network with a distributed file system that spreads them across low-cost disks, saving on storage costs. The system supports open file formats and avoids proprietary storage methods.
MogileFS is an open source distributed filesystem that is designed for archiving write-once files and performing sequential reads. While you have the option of modifying a file by overwriting it with a new version, MogileFS is not POSIX compliant. As a result, you cannot run regular Unix applications or databases against it.
Additionally, while MogileFS is mostly portable, there is still some Linux-ism in the code, specifically in the HTTP transport code. However, there are plans to remove that and make MogileFS fully portable in the future.
In summary, MogileFS offers a unique set of features for archiving and reading files, but it should not be used for running regular Unix applications or databases. Furthermore, it is mostly portable with some Linux-specific code that will be removed in future updates.
