ok, thanks. i take it then that the current version works as described 
in your post (or is there still something left i need to do in order to 
get it working in realtime?).
does mogileFS also take care of balancing the files when storing them on 
different nodes or is it just random?
would it be possible to define a maximum of storage space per node?
