      Using MTV 2.7.7

      I added a second disk to a VM in vSphere and then tried to migrate it. Before the second disk had an FS on it, the migration worked fine. Once I put an FS on it and mounted it via /etc/fstab with either the /dev/sdb (no partitions) or /dev/sdb1 (after partitioning), the migration failed during the "ImageConversion" phase with what appears to be a hardware failure (there was no hardware failure).

      Removing the second disk from /etc/fstab OR changing the /etc/fstab to mount the second device using "LABEL=<label>" instead of the device path worked fine.

      Using a device path in /etc/fstab worked in a previous version of MTV.

      Logs for a failed migration (/dev/sdb1 mounted using device path in /etc/fstab) and a successful migration (/dev/sdb1 mounted using LABEL=data) are attached. This is the only change between the two migrations.
