Oh, of course! Good idea. I was only expecting "0" or "1" as the
identifier!

One must give a sequence via the -i option, or else the session
can never be restarted because nobody knows what the random identifier
is.

But the problem comes from a shift towards starting all sessions from
the nbd.conf file, where an identifier is mandatory.

I think I already use it. Sure fine ..

I'll do something about inventing small random sequences :-).

Thanks for pointing this out. MMMind ˇyopu, not being able to make a
pid file is not serious. Just motivation for giving a sensible id.
