Explanation:
An OSD storage system is an object-based storage system that stores data as objects rather than files or blocks1. An OSD storage system consists of OSD nodes that have two key services: metadata service and storage service1.
The metadata service is responsible for generating the object ID from the contents of a file1. The object ID is a unique identifier that represents the data and its attributes. The metadata service also maintains the mapping of the object IDs and the file system namespace1. The file system namespace is a logical structure that organizes files into directories and subdirectories.
The storage service manages a set of disks on which the user data is stored1. The storage service stores data as objects in physical OSD containers. Each OSD container has a unique address that corresponds to an object ID. The storage service also handles requests from clients to read or write data to or from objects.
What is a characteristic of a scale-out NAS?
- A . File system grows dynamically as nodes are added in the cluster
- B . Up to four file systems can be created across the cluster
- C . Distinct file systems are created on each node in the cluster
- D . Different file systems can be mixed on each node in a single cluster
