There is no source or destination machine. I used drive-mirror to
transfer VM Image to different physical disk on same machine ("mode":
"absolute-paths"). After block-job-complete and shutting down vm, I
start vm again with same command with different drive path pointing to
mirrored image.

Unfortunately after shutting down and starting from new image, VM is unable to boot and qrub enters rescue mode displaying following error: ``` error: file '/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found. Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> ``` To investigate the problem, I compared both RAW images using linux "cmp -l" command and found out that they differ in 569028 bytes starting from address 185598977 to 252708864 which are located on /boot partition. So I mounted /boot partition of mirrored RAW image on host OS and it seems that file-system is broken and grub folder is not recognized. But /boot on original RAW image has no problem.
