Direct Attached Storage Device.

Linux on zSeries.  Mainframes from IBM use DASD or zFCP storage devices.
DASD has been around forever and zFCP is fibre-channel attached storage
and it works like any other SCSI disk.  But that doesn't matter because
most sites that use Linux on zSeries have DASD in the mix somehow.
