Issue description

Here is another one on the same setup as in #1483

While running incus-benchmark launch --count 200 --parallel 11 (with --parallel >= 11 on that 12 thread machine), some instances fail with this errors:

(sysadm_r)@pluto ~ #

indeed 4 instances missing:

(sysadm_r)@pluto ~ # incus list|grep benchmark| wc -l
196
(sysadm_r)@pluto ~ #

The ZFS storage itself is fine and healthy. The mentioned filesets are missing in the pool. If I increase --parallel further, I get more failing instances (both, "context deadline exceeded" and "no such file or directory")

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have zfs storage backend (here 2x nvme as system and zfs special device and 2x spinning rust for data)
  2. run above incus-benchmark command with --parallel matching (alomost) system cpu threads

Information to attach

I also see following errors, but also for instances that did not fail in the end:

To me this looks like load issues and incusd not waiting long enough for devices to appear? Because it eventually gave up on 107 (does not exist), but not for example on 086 (exists and is running)

Here is some of the the output of incus monitor --pretty, but from another run.

benchmark-055 failed with "no such file or directory":

Is your system using udev? Do you also have /lib/udev/zvol_id or zvol_id available in the $PATH?

Normally Incus relies on udev to automatically create the needed /dev/zvol entries. When that doesn't happen, it can also use zvol_id as a fallback mechanism to try to figure out the right device.

There is a 30s timeout for that logic at which point you get the Failed to locate zvol for error.
The other cases would generally imply that we did locate a /dev/zvol device but that it was somehow gone by the time we tried to mount it, or maybe was only partially set up by that point.

I'm running your example on a system also using ZFS block mode here but so far without any problem.

How much system load do you get? I am having a very high IOwait when it happens. Is there any way to rais this 30s timeout just to test if waiting longer would help here?
