So is this thing using parts of Ceph? Haven’t really seen OSD term used anywhere else…

  Lustre used that nomenclature long before Ceph.

      It's normally used for supercomputers

  We designed and built the system almost completely ground-up, all the way down to the disk scheduler, but yeah we probably took the term OSD from Ceph.

    I think that's right

      (kmod was the founding engineer on the project and the guy who came up with the name!)

        The project was originally codenamed "s3box" and then changed for obvious reasons haha. I think Drew picked the name "Magic Pocket"
