When ZFS partitions a block device it must wait for udev to create both a device node and all the device symlinks. This process takes a variable length of time and depends on factors such how many links must be created, the complexity of the rules, etc. Complicating the situation further it is not uncommon for udev to create and then remove a link multiple times while processing the udev rules. Given the above, the existing scheme of waiting for an expected partition to appear by name isn't 100% reliable. At this point udev may still remove and recreate think link resulting in the kernel modules being unable to open the device. In order to address this the zpool_label_disk_wait() function has been updated to use libudev. Until the registered system device acknowledges that it in fully initialized the function will wait. Once fully initialized all device links are checked and allowed to settle for 50ms. This makes it far more likely that all the device nodes will exist when the kernel modules need to open them. For systems without libudev an alternate zpool_label_disk_wait() was updated to include a settle time. In addition, the kernel modules were updated to include retry logic for this ENOENT case. Due to the improved checks in the utilities it is unlikely this logic will be invoked. However, if the rare event it is needed it will prevent a failure.
