Update

Before installing MooseFS, we strongly recommend updating the operating system to ensure maximum stability, compatibility, and security. An up-to-date system reduces the risk of encountering issues caused by outdated kernels, libraries, or system components that MooseFS depends on.

Updating the OS ensures that:

• Critical security patches are applied, protecting your cluster from known vulnerabilities.
• Package dependencies are aligned with current versions expected by MooseFS.
• System tools and services operate reliably, minimizing unexpected behavior during installation or operation.

Performing a full system update before installation helps create a clean, predictable environment - laying the groundwork for a smooth and trouble-free MooseFS deployment.
