Thank you very much for the great FAQ entries. That would help me so much :)

I've read the section "http://www.moosefs.org/moosefs-faq.html#master-online", and there's (item 2.)

I think /mnt/mfs would be a MFS mount point (not a "MooseFS installation" which indicates the location we install binaries, and which is often /usr/local/).

The author mentioned "virtual hidden file .stats", which make me confused :) After trying with "ls -la" I gave up; fortunately, "ls -la .stats" works:

$ ls -la |grep stat
$ ls -la .stats
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 1969-12-31 16:00 .stats

The file ".stats" isn't really hidden IMHO :P
