Some questions abt MogileFS

[Travis Boucher]

I suggest reading up what MogileFS is and what MogileFS is not before 
attempting to use it.

It is not like a standard filesystem.  It is best for write once - read 
many files.  Best for small files, but works well with large files if 
your client code can handle it properly.
