MooseFS is a Fault tolerant, Highly available, Highly performing, Scaling-out, Network distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical commodity servers, which are visible to the user as one resource. For standard file operations MooseFS acts like any other Unix-like file system:
1.A hierarchical structure (directory tree)
2.Stores POSIX file attributes (permissions, last access and modification times)
3.Supports special files (block and character devices, pipes and sockets)
4.Symbolic links (file names pointing to target files, not necessarily on MooseFS) and hard links (different names of files which refer to the same data on MooseFS)
5.Access to the file system can be limited based on IP address and/or password
