What are the MooseFS Operating Systems Requirements
In this article, you will read about MooseFS Operating Systems requirements. You will learn which operating systems are supported on the server side and which operating systems are supported on the client side.
It’s always recommended to use the up-to-date operating system as it helps in maintaining security, stability, and compatibility. For example, some MooseFS 3.0+ features will not work with old FUSE versions. Please refer to MooseFS website for an up to date list of supported operating systems.
