-## MinFS RPMs
+## POSIX Compatibility
+> MinFS is not a POSIX conformant filesystem and it does not intend to be one. MinFS is built for legacy applications that needs to access an object store but does not expect strict POSIX compatibility. Please use MinFS if this fits your needs.
 
-### Minimum Requirements
+Use cases not suitable for MinFS use are:
+- Running a database on MinFS such as postgres, mysql etc.
+- Running virtual machines on MinFS such as qemu/kvm.
+- Running rich POSIX applications which rely on POSIX locks, Extended attribute operations etc.
+
+Some use cases suitable for MinFS are:
+- Serving a static web-content with NGINX, Apache2 web servers.
+- Serving as backup destination for legacy tools unable to speak S3 protocol.

 ### Install
-
 Download the pre-built RPMs from [here](https://github.com/minio/minfs/releases/tag/RELEASE.2017-02-26T20-20-56Z)

 ## MinFS Docker Volume plugin
-
 MinFS can also be used via the [MinFS Docker volume plugin](https://github.com/minio/minfs/tree/master/docker-plugin). You can mount a local folder onto a Docker container, without having to go through the dependency installation or the mount and unmount operations of MinFS.
 
 ### Minimum Requirements
-
 - [Docker Engine](http://docker.com/) v1.13.0 and above.
 
 ### Using Docker Compose
-
 Use `docker-compose` to create a volume using the plugin and share the volume with other containers. In the example below the volume is created using the minfs plugin and and used by `nginx` container to serve the static content from the bucket.
