A back end for OSD daemons, where a Journal is needed and files
are written to the filesystem.
+ FQDN
+ **F**\ully **Q**\ualified **D**\omain **N**\ame. A domain name
+ that is applied to a node in a network and that specifies the
+ node's exact location in the tree hierarchy of the DNS.
+
+ In the context of Ceph cluster administration, FQDNs are often
+ applied to hosts. In this documentation, the term "FQDN" is
+ used mostly to distinguish between FQDNs and relatively simpler
+ hostnames, which do not specify the exact location of the host
+ in the tree hierarchy of the DNS but merely name the host.

Host
Any single machine or server in a Ceph Cluster. See :term:`Ceph
Node`.
