+Table parameters
+----------------
+  <dev path> <offset> <up interval> <down interval> \
+    [<num_features> [<feature arguments>]]
+
+Mandatory parameters:
     <dev path>: Full pathname to the underlying block-device, or a
                 "major:minor" device-number.
     <offset>: Starting sector within the device.
     <up interval>: Number of seconds device is available.
     <down interval>: Number of seconds device returns errors.
+
+Optional feature parameters:
+  If no feature parameters are present, during the periods of
+  unreliability, all I/O returns errors.
+
+  drop_writes:
+	All write I/O is silently ignored.
+	Read I/O is handled correctly.
