Mogilefs for Ruby

Eric Hodel | Wed, 22 Mar 2006 21:44:00 GMT

We are using MogileFS to store all of our images and serving them up with WEBrick. To do this, we needed a MogileFS library, and I just released it.

You can install it as a gem:

$ sudo gem install mogilefs-client

Or go download mogilefs from Rubyforge.

I’ve got the mogilefs RDoc up on dev.robotcoop.com which will give you an overview of how to use it.

WARNING! I’ve only been able to test NFS mode in production, so HTTP mode is not proven to work. If you find any bugs in it, please report them at the Rubyforge tracker.

Just a note, the actual gem name is: mogilefs-client so the install instruction above should read:

sudo gem install mogilefs-client

Arg! Yes you are right.

BTW, In a previous post I saw you mentioned Linux::AIO, I think you can also go with the cross-platform IO::AIO from CPAN and it should work.

I tried using IO::AIO but it disagrees with FreeBSD. I’ve emailed with the author and he blames FreeBSD. I have yet to prove him wrong and he knows a lot more about these things than I do. I doubt I will.
