[Moosefs-users] moosefs on debian

[Kris B. <ml...@in...>]

I`m having troubles getting moosefs to run on debian.  

First of all I had to build my own packages from the sf.net tarball , so
I`m wondering if there are any official moosefs debian packages out
there .

Secondly I`m running into the following issue when trying to start
mfs-master.

After I stopped it first ..   it runs once .. thereafter  it doesn't
want to start anymore .
