What is the difference between an "object store" and a file system if it runs at speeds that a basic filesystem can easily match?



Locking semantics? Consistent listing of large numbers of files?

I'm speculating but those are at least the two I can think of that aren't explicitly linked to speed equivalency of a basic filesystem.


If it's on a server on the internet how would anyone know the difference?
