If you try to mount bcachefs using a UUID or a single block device today which causes a mount by FS UUID, the mount will fail with
Fatal error: Device or resource busy
This is caused by multiple paths which correspond to the same block device which all have the same FS UUID when every block device is examined and the super block is read up.
An example output of failure (abbreviated):

When using the change in https://github.com/koverstreet/bcachefs-tools/pull/254 we work as the udev db only has the FS UUID for the correct
/dev/dm-N
devices to use.eg.
