RE: [Nbd] ndb-client 2.7.3 patch

[Roy Keene <nbd@...51...>]

As far as I can tell it doesn't sense that nbdX comes back to life.  But 
it keeps you from having to restart the "nbd-client" when your client 
comes back, bringing us a step closer.

I haven't figured out how to manually tell it to start the resync, any 
clues ?
