Yep, found detailed answer later there: ".. two components currently
implemented in Rust are the code that runs on the storage boxes (we call
this the OSD - Object Storage Device) and the "volume manager" processes
which are the daemons that handle erasure coding for us and bulk data
transfers.".

Makes sense to me.
