I agree.  It has to look and feel like an OS to my apps.  I need to NFS 
share it to systems so they can access it as NFS clients.  Besides, 
MogileFS doesn't even sound like a filesystem:

 From the website:
================
MogileFS is not:

     * POSIX Compliant -- you don't run regular Unix applications or 
databases against MogileFS. It's meant for archiving write-once files 
and doing only sequential reads. (though you can modify a file by way of 
overwriting it with a new version)
================

As far as your clustre fs goes, I need to see more info.  You mentioned 
it's wonderful features to me, but I'd like to see a website to read 
more, and download source code..
