It is the Microsoft "Redirected Drive Buffering SubSystem".
  rduke15   (further information)
it seems to be directly related to system memory cache, and causes problems when there are confilcts between programs using the buffer system. My problem occurs during the use of an online game which cycles the cd rom on and off to exchange needed data with ram.
  Jeff  
It's a buffering driver, a problem in it indicates a read error, usually on a disk. However, it links to two network drivers which could also be the root cause of a problem that only seems to be RDBSS.SYS.
  Ben   (further information)
While important (especially to servers) this file seems incredibly unstable.
  X   (further information)
Required for the Workstation service to function. Without it, no access to local network resources.
   
Causes Blue Screen of Death, internet disconnects, sound card stops working.
  Ravin P  
It loads and unloads drivers, compiles things in C++,related to csc.exe, in my cases I wacked my box, and my lan card shorted out on video card heatsink, which rendered lan card inoperable but driver still loaded, windows uses this to shut down the driver, but it doesnt work and crashes pc. restart fixes
  Bob Jones  
This file is an essential windows file for networking
  Hoss  
Very often, this problem occurs when copying files on the RDP using such programs. like FAR MANAGER or TOTAL COMMANDER, there may be a virus effect or incorrect operation of an antivirus solution

Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.

Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
