Does MongoDB's GridFS has minimum file size requirement?

Sometimes I generated empty files (size = 0 on Linux) but they are necessary to insert into the MongoDB file storage.

I use Django's models.FileField, but I want to rule that out because it was accepted I think (really can't be too sure), and sent off to insert to MongoDB. Any idea if it has the minimum file size?

There is no minimum file size for GridFS .. this is easy to test with the mongofiles command line utility:

$ touch foo
$ mongofiles put foo
connected to: 127.0.0.1
added file: { _id: ObjectId('501385ebf51e4d7d24554d5b'), filename: "foo", chunkSize: 262144, uploadDate: new Date(1343456747050), md5: "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e", length: 0 }
done!
$ mongofiles list
connected to: 127.0.0.1
foo 0
