From 6e8ee434debc4ae11af975f834bc95eb32289a5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zac Dover Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2023 18:04:43 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] doc/glossary: Clean up "Ceph Object Storage" Remove redundant material under the "Ceph Object Storage" headword and add a "See 'Ceph Object Store'" link. A future PR will provide a couple of sentences that explain how object storage is what's really supporting both CephFS and RBD.
