Yes, Zed posted that link some time ago. I'll have to give it a try,
seems interesting and still maintained ...

In the case of MogileFS, it creates a directory structure of its own to
scale to a large number of files. So serving the files from these
directories is not the solution I think of. And I plan to use MogileFS
in HTTP mode (not NFS), so the files may even be unaccessible from the
filesystem. That is why I think of developing a dynamic component that
will ask the MogileFS tracker for the URL of the file (which may be
local or not), get this file and return it to the client.
