[Sarah Liu]

Cannot find useful logs, it looks like just a slow run caused the timeout. In the following link, similar situation of parallel-scale, parallel-scale-nvsv3/4 and obdfilter-survey

[Andreas Dilger]

This is almost certainly caused by slowness due to many ZFS pools sharing the same underlying disk.

performance-sanity/4 hasn't timed out on master since 2013-07-25 (where it was LU-1357)
This bug has happened several times on b2_5 and many times b2_4

This bug is basically the same issue as LU-2600 (poor metadata performance on ZFS). The NUM_FILES run should either be decreased (similar to parallel-scale.sh) or the test should be marked as SLOW for zfs
