A short glossary for those who are unfamiliar with the topic:
-
Ceph is an open source distributed object storage platform.
- Ceph OSD is the object storage daemon responsible for storing the object data on a local disk
- Ceph MSD is the metadata server daemon that manage object access and the filesystem namespace
- CephFS a POSIX filesystem on top of a ceph cluster
This is painfully similar to my own experiences with Ceph.
