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. |

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship[...] Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Herman Goering: Intelligence office interview at Nuremberg, 1946/4/18
