Using MySQL as a filesystem

,----[ Quote ]
| With MySQLfs you can store a filesystem inside a MySQL relational database. 
| MySQLfs breaks up the byte content of files that you store in its filesystem 
| into tuples in the database, which allows you to store large files in the 
| filesystem without requiring the database to support extremely large BLOB 
| fields. With MySQLfs you can throw a filesystem into a MySQL database and 
| take advantage of whatever database backup, clustering, and replication setup 
| you have to protect your MySQLfs filesystem.
