Errors when using more than 10 block devices #734

tl;dr: On a fresh install of arch linux, i seem to have trouble creating a bcachefs system with more than 10 block devices behind it.

Here's the OS, bcachefs version and disks i am working with:

#uname -a

The following works as expected:

#wipefs -a /dev/sd{b,c,d,e,f,g,h,k,m,n,o,p} 
#bcachefs format --fs_label=bcfs /dev/sd{b,c,d,e,f,g,h,k,m,n}
#mount /dev/disk/by-label/bcfs /mnt && df -h /mnt && umount /mnt
Filesystem                                                                                 Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb:/dev/sdc:/dev/sdd:/dev/sde:/dev/sdf:/dev/sdg:/dev/sdh:/dev/sdk:/dev/sdm:/dev/sdn  6.7T   14M  6.6T   1% /mnt

However if i use any additional disk (sdo or sdp or both or sdo and sdp instead of sdn), I get an error on attempting to mount the result

#wipefs -a /dev/sd{b,c,d,e,f,g,h,k,m,n,o,p} 
#bcachefs format --fs_label=bcfs /dev/sd{b,c,d,e,f,g,h,k,m,n}
#mount /dev/disk/by-label/bcfs /mnt 
Error: Invalid argument

Additionally, there are two lines of error in dmesg:

[Sun Aug 25 01:33:26 2024] bcachefs (sdc): already have device online in slot 10
[Sun Aug 25 01:33:26 2024] bcachefs: bch2_mount() error: device_already_online

I can reproduce this consistently. I have performed each attempt (format & mount) also directly after a reboot to ensure a clean slate. I'll be happy to provide any additional information requested.

Is there any limits (e.g.: number of devices in play) i have overlooked? If so, should it let me format but not mount it? Neither the error message given by mount nor in dmesg seem really conclusive to me about the actual issue, can you give me pointers to look at?

Okay, my title is probably wrong, i spun up another server with 24 (more identical, 6x300GB+12x600GB), and had no issues creating and mount a filesystem over that amount of disks there. So currently I am at a loss for whats the issue above.
