Describe the problem you're observing

Specifically were encountering issues within LXD. The ZFS mount point seems to be locked after restarting a LXC container that uses ZFS. This doesnt seem to be a LXD-related problem but rather a bug within ZFS.

LXD log:
action=shutdown created=2017-11-24T15:01:04+0000 ephemeral=false lvl=info msg="Shutting down container" name=c2 t=2017-12-15T05:44:10+0000 timeout=-1s used=2017-11-24T15:06:55+0000

lvl=warn msg="Unable to update backup.yaml at this time." name=c2 t=2017-12-15T05:44:50+0000

Describe how to reproduce the problem

1. lxc restart NAME
2. Container is stuck in the shutdown process
3. After a while the container isnt running anymore
4. Unable to start the container

Probably also related to:
#5796

Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the system logs

[stgraber]

This will be addressed by the fix in #7120 so the issue should probably be considered a duplicate of #5796.

There is an updated version of the #7207.

I have simmilar problem, but I have no answer from zfs like "ZFS returned EBUSY": it just hangs.
Last message in monitor is:
message: Mounting ZFS storage volume for container "bl-adm" on storage pool "default".

But I am using 18.04 and zfs 0.7.5 (latest in bionic repo)

And after that commands like "zfs list" hangs too with no info, only kernel errors like:
INFO: task lxd:26664 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

#7207 marked as closed and fixed in version 0.7.9. I tried to install it from ppa, but it did not help.

[behlendorf]

This may be a duplicate of #7659.

@stgraber do you think the fix is going to be in the 18.04 anytime soon?
