OSD
- Probably :term:`Ceph Object Storage Daemon<Ceph OSD>`, but not
- necessarily. Sometimes (especially in older correspondence, and
- especially in documentation that is not specifically written
- for Ceph), "OSD" means "**O**\bject **S**\torage **D**\evice",
- which refers to a physical or logical storage unit (for
- example: LUN). The Ceph community has always used the term
- "OSD" to refer to :term:`Ceph OSD Daemon` despite an industry
- push in the mid-2010s to insist that "OSD" should refer to
- "Object Storage Device", so it is important to know which
- meaning is intended.
