3 is the "major" id that is shared by all sessions in a job on all nodes. the 1 is the first session within the job.
So if you disconnect and want to connect later to all session/ processes for the job, you specify xrx -J 3 and xrx will try to figure out which sessions belong to that job. IIRC the job id (as specified by -j) can be anything, the part after '/' is always a number from 1 to n.
