According to the notes in the sample disklist, its a spindle number 
"placeholder", whatever that is.  Something to do with a raid array 
that allows each disk/spindle to be addressed individually.  A 
method of backup up each single disk in a raid (I think).

Possibly usefull to those with raids.  Untested here, no raid.
