RE: [Nbd] ndb-client 2.7.3 patch

["J. Ryan Earl" <ryan@...46...>]

I'm not sure, it's somewhere in there at the block level, I'm sure some
kernel guru would know.  I wonder how the SCSI layer does it...

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 ?
