Technically speaking, Initialization is a foreground activity, as you cannot access a logical drive while it is
initiating.
Initialization is normally done to logical drives after they are created from a disk array. Initialization sets all data
bits in the logical drive to zero. The action is useful because there may be residual data on the logical drives left
behind from earlier configurations. For this reason, Initialization is recommended whenever you create a logical
drive.
