		What: /sys/block/<disk>/alias
		Date: Aug 2011
		Contact: Nao Nishijima <nao.nishijima.xt@hitachi.com>
		Description:
		A raw device name of a disk does not always point a same disk
		each boot-up time. Therefore, users have to use persistent
		device names, which udev creates when the kernel finds a disk,
		instead of raw device name. However, kernel doesn't show those
		persistent names on its messages (e.g. dmesg).
		This file can store an alias of the disk and it would be
		appeared in kernel messages if it is set. A disk can have an
		alias which length is up to 255bytes. Users can use alphabets,
		numbers, "-" and "_" in alias name. This file is writeonce.

		Additionally, note that the driver will not engage the SCSI core at init
		time. The driver must be directed to dynamically engage the SCSI core via
		the /proc filesystem entry which the "block" side of the driver creates as
		/proc/driver/cciss/cciss* at runtime. This is because at driver init time,
		the SCSI core may not yet be initialized (because the driver is a block
		driver) and attempting to register it with the SCSI core in such a case
		would cause a hang. This is best done via an initialization script
		(typically in /etc/init.d, but could vary depending on distribution).
