Description
Hi everyone!
I'm using Sysbox to run BuildKit for building container images. Previously, I used Kaniko. BuildKit builds use a ramdisk.
I've noticed that despite images being built in RAM, disk IOPS have increased. Why might this be happening?
Kernel version: 6.18
Sysbox version: 0.7.0
In absolute terms, throughput has barely changed, but the number of IOPS has grown severalfold, which suggests some kind of small disk operations are taking place. I can't figure out why.
As a result, some builds are now failing with the following error:
ERROR: Failed to cleanup volumes
ERROR: Job failed (system failure): Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: failed to pre-register with sysbox-fs: failed to pre-register container with sysbox-fs: rpc error: code = DeadlineExceeded desc = stream terminated by RST_STREAM with error code: CANCEL: unknown (exec.go:72:24s)
Could you please help me understand why this is happening?

Research direction
The issue names the sysbox-fs pre-registration path, Docker/BuildKit setup, kernel 6.18, and Sysbox 0.7.0, but no source file or test. Start by tracing the reported DeadlineExceeded error alongside the ramdisk and increased small disk operations, then document a reproducible cause and a verified resolution.
