Installing MooseFS Client on FreeBSD

MooseFS packages are available in the FreeBSD Ports Collection. To install the client, update your ports tree and run:

pkg install moosefs-client

This installs the mfsmount and supporting tools. After installation, create a mountpoint (e.g., /mnt/mfs) and mount the MooseFS filesystem:

mfsmount /mnt/mfs -H mfs-master
