@clebertsuconic It is something I think can over-complicate the environment
setting for a user and could potentially makes the mechanism less efficient too.
That's why:
- the file is not a "real" file on Linux (it uses
[/dev/shm](https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/what-is-devshm-and-its-practical-usage.html))
to avoid potential costs on page swapping/writeback of the dirty region, hence
the position/name could not be bound to a fixed configured position
- the file need to be zeroed on broker start and to make this behaviour
safer&simpler to be implemented I prefer to let the file system do it for me,
creating a new file with `pid-date of creation` info on the name (+
File::deleteOnExit), hence a fixed file name is not an option here too
wdyt?
