+.Sh NAME
+.Nm zfs_prepare_disk
+.Nd special script that gets run before bringing a disk into a pool
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is an optional script that gets called by libzfs before bringing a disk into a
+pool.
+It can be modified by the user to run whatever commands are necessary to prepare
+a disk for inclusion into the pool.
+For example, users can add lines to
+.Nm zfs_prepare_disk
+to do things like update the drive's firmware or check the drive's health.
+.Nm zfs_prepare_disk
+is optional and can be removed if not needed.
+libzfs will look for the script at @zfsexecdir@/zfs_prepare_disk.
+.
+.Ss Properties
+.Nm zfs_prepare_disk
+will be passed the following environment variables:
+.sp
+.Bl -tag -compact -width "VDEV_ENC_SYSFS_PATH"
+.
+.It Nm POOL_NAME
+.No Name of the pool
+.It Nm VDEV_PATH
+.No Path to the disk (like /dev/sda)
+.It Nm VDEV_PREPARE
+.No Reason why the disk is being prepared for inclusion
+('create', 'add', 'replace', or 'autoreplace').
+This can be useful if you only want the script to be run under certain actions.
+.It Nm VDEV_UPATH
+.No Path to one of the underlying devices for the
+disk.
+For multipath this would return one of the /dev/sd* paths to the disk.
+If the device is not a device mapper device, then
+.Nm VDEV_UPATH
+just returns the same value as
+.Nm VDEV_PATH
+.It Nm VDEV_ENC_SYSFS_PATH
+.No Path to the disk's enclosure sysfs path, if available
+.El
+.Pp
+Note that some of these variables may have a blank value.
+.Nm POOL_NAME
+is blank at pool creation time, for example.
+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+.Nm zfs_prepare_disk
+runs with a limited $PATH.
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+.Nm zfs_prepare_disk
+should return 0 on success, non-zero otherwise.
+If non-zero is returned, the disk will not be included in the pool.

+#!/bin/sh
+#
+# This is an optional helper script that is automatically called by libzfs
+# before a disk is about to be added into the pool. It can be modified by
+# the user to run whatever commands are necessary to prepare a disk for
+# inclusion into the pool. For example, users can add lines to this
+# script to do things like update the drive's firmware or check the drive's
+# health. The script is optional and can be removed if it is not needed.
+#
+# See the zfs_prepare_disk(8) man page for details.
+#
+# Example:
+#
+# echo "Prepare disk $VDEV_PATH ($VDEV_UPATH) for $VDEV_PREPARE in $POOL_NAME"
+#
