+# Turn off disk's enclosure slot if it becomes FAULTED.
+#
+# Bad SCSI disks can often "disappear and reappear" causing all sorts of chaos
+# as they flip between FAULTED and ONLINE.  If
+# ZED_POWER_OFF_ENCLOUSRE_SLOT_ON_FAULT is set in zed.rc, and the disk gets
+# FAULTED, then power down the slot via sysfs:
+#
+# /sys/class/enclosure/<enclosure>/<slot>/power_status
+#
+# We assume the user will be responsible for turning the slot back on again.
+#
+# Note that this script requires that your enclosure be supported by the
+# Linux SCSI Enclosure services (SES) driver.  The script will do nothing
+# if you have no enclosure, or if your enclosure isn't supported.
+#
+# Exit codes:
+#   0: slot successfully powered off
+#   1: enclosure not available
+#   2: ZED_POWER_OFF_ENCLOUSRE_SLOT_ON_FAULT disabled
+#   3: vdev was not FAULTED
+#   4: The enclosure sysfs path passed from ZFS does not exist
+#   5: Enclosure slot didn't actually turn off after we told it to
