Are user sessions stored in DB or on the operating system?
Is it possible to store sessions in DB so that if I added a redundant server, sessions would not be lost as users get moved from one server to another.

Yes, I'm aware of these things but this does not answer if ossn can be used in a load balanced setup for example.
Each web server is identical and their web path is shared over nas/san.
The only main thing is making sure that user sessions can cross servers without being lost.
I'd like to know if there are any known problems with this because I always like to set up redundancy.

By scale you can have different
database server, different ossn data drive (remote) or use CDN component.
Example
Server 1: Database
Server 2 : Source of OSSN
Server 3 : Data Source either by using NAS or CDN

Sure but more efficient in many cases.
But again, the question is mainly this; can ossn scale across multiple servers?
Are there any known issues or problems?

Database operations are slow that is why sessions are stored on disk. Database operations slow down the system.

Mainly, the question is really, can ossn scale to multiple servers.
I suppose the disk sessions could be shared but doing so in DB would be much more effective.

php sessions are stored on your server disk. Check global php settings for session path
