The error is pretty strange.  Neither /dev/sda nor /sysroot get
mounted before the point where the error happens, so I can't
understand why the appliance kernel would think they are busy.

If virt-inspector works, that would suggest that it's not an error
with inspection.

Did you run virt-inspector with LIBGUESTFS_ATTACH_METHOD=appliance set?

Is this a one-off error or does it happen every time you run virt-v2v?
