== Using mogilefs

# Create a new instance that will communicate with these trackers:

hosts = %w[192.168.1.69:6001 192.168.1.70:6001]  
mg = MogileFS::MogileFS.new(:domain =\> ‘test’, :hosts =\> hosts  
:root =\> ‘/mnt/mogilefs’)

# Stores “A bunch of text to store” into ‘some\_key’ with a class

of ‘text’.  
mg.store\_content ‘some\_key’, ‘text’, “A bunch of text to store”

# Retrieve data from ‘some\_key’

data = mg.get\_file\_data ‘some\_key’

# Store the contents of ‘image.jpeg’ into the key ‘my\_image’ with

a class of

# ‘image’.

mg.store\_file ‘my\_image’, ‘image’, ‘image.jpeg’

# Store the contents of ‘image.jpeg’ into the key ‘my\_image’ with

a class of

# ‘image’ using an open IO.

File.open ‘image.jpeg’ do |fp|  
mg.store\_file ‘my\_image’, ‘image’, fp
