After looking at the yesterdays issue with non-absolute paths for qemu-nbd arguments and daemon(3), I've a question.
Why qemu-nbd daemonizes, and does that only when device argument is given (dropping -v/verbose case for now)? This raises two questions: - shouldn't it do the same daemonizing in case of usual tcp export? - shouldn't the daemonizing itself be controlled by an option (like -d), and why we can't just send it to background using "&" shell constuct? And while at it, I wonder why it is really unix-only? There's nothing unix-specific in there exept two things: it is the device handling (/dev/nbdX) and all the hacks around this (including this daemonizing). The rest should work on win32 just fine.
