Current behavior

After (succesfully) migrating a volume to a different storage pool, on every incus.service restart or system reboot an error line is logged for each instance referencing the volume. It's like instances still have some reference to the old volume position.

I reproduced with a quick example migrating a volume named TestMoveVol and used by an instance named TestMoveAlpine from pool1 to pool2. After restarting incus.service an error is produced (visible through loki, systemctl status, journalctl, /var/log and the like):

level=error msg="Failed to register device" device=disk-device-1 err="Storage volume \"TestMoveVol\" in project \"default\" of type \"custom\" does not exist on pool \"pool1\": Storage volume not found" instance=TestMoveAlpine instanceType=container project=default

As you can see from the log line, something still tries to look for the volume on pool1, while it is now on pool2, as the instance config submitted above also shows. Apart from this, the correct volume is apparently still mounted and working fine. Perhaps the db is left a bit dirty...

(Below the full steps for reproducing.)

Expected behavior

No such error should be happening after a successful volume migration.

Steps to reproduce

  1. create a custom volume on pool1
  2. create an instance with said volume attached
  3. start the instance
  4. stop the instance
  5. move/migrate the custom volume to pool2
  6. start the instance
  7. systemctl restart incus.service (or reboot)
  8. the error line is logged
