Overview
This bash shell script calls the sg_start utility on each given DEVICE. The purpose is to spin up (start) each given DEVICE.
Options
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
-
-h, --help -
print out the usage message then exit.
-
-v, --verbose -
increase level or verbosity.
-
-w, --wait -
wait for the spin up (start) on each given DEVICE to complete. The default action is to do each start in immediate mode.
Notes
If a large number of disks are spun up at the same time (i.e. without the --wait option) then the power supply may be overloaded.
