Yep, thanks.

Ok, new patch below.

Two nbd-clients at same time are bad idea, and cause WARN_ON from nbd
in 2.6.28-rc7 from sysfs_add_one. This simply prevents that from
happening.

To reproduce:

cat /dev/zero | head -c 10000000 > /tmp/delme.fstest.fs
nbd-server 9100 -l /anyone.can.connect > /tmp/delme.fstest.fs &
sleep 1
nbd-client localhost 9100 /dev/nd0 &
nbd-client localhost 9100 /dev/nd0 &
