+#  Spin up the given SCSI disk(s).
+#
+#  SCSI disks (or disks that understand SCSI commands)
+#  are assumed. By default, the immediate bit is set so the
+#  command should return immediately. The disk however will
+#  take 10 seconds or more to spin up. The '-w' option
+#  causes each start to wait until the disk reports that it
+#  has started.
+#
+#  This script assumes the sg3_utils package is installed.
