Maybe, I'm not sure here.. But it does cause problems to fstests, I have
two workarounds now, adding sleep 1 before removing vg, delete fsync
from xfs_io command. I preper to delete fsync, as bug is still
reproducible without it and no extra workaround(sleep 1) is needed.

What do you think?

Makes sense.
