Explanation (?): |
The virtual disk service service provides a native implementation for advanced mass storage device configuration and maintenance. This allows multiple vendors to interact with hardware in a standard way that reduces overhead and complexity for a server administrator. In more common terms this service provides a simple interface for all server storage devices, such as RAID controllers. The vendors need to write software to take advantage of this, but from the user's perspective all storage devices can be maintained through VDS.
If you are running a server then you should enable this service if you have known devices that take advantage of it. Otherwise this service should be left to manual, as it is only started if something attempts to use it. |

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." -- The Bene Gesserit Litany of Fear from the novel Dune by Frank Herbert
