We document the filesystem blobstore here: http://jclouds.incubator.apache.org/documentation/quickstart/filesystem/ http://jclouds.incubator.apache.org/documentation/userguide/filesystem-provider/
The filesystem blobstore should operate exactly like regular blobstores. jclouds also offers a transient blobstore which does not persist to disk. I find both useful for testing.
