Object Storage
Object interface is midway between files and blocks (think inode)
Create, Delete, Read, Write, GetAttr, SetAttr, …
Objects have numeric ID, not pathnames
Objects have a capability based security scheme (details in a moment)
Objects have extensible attributes to hold high-level FS information
Based on NASD and OBSD research out of CMU (Gibson et. al)
