      MTV can not fix this, because the path depends on the exact PCI topology on the source side. But MTV is never accessing a running VM on the source side, and public APIs usually do not expose this level of detail. Thus after all we could only implement heuristics which are only partially helpful.

      From https://issues.redhat.com/browse/VIRTSTRAT-14?focusedId=25616512&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-25616512

      Another problem that was reported as a blocker/bug would be that it appears that SUSE uses `/dev/disk/by-path` by default in their '/etc/fstab/' entry. This causes virt-v2v migrations to fail with errors as such:
~~~
virt-v2v: error: mount: mount_stub: /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part3: No such file or directory.
~~~
