Not low hanging fruit, but definitely simpler than some of the other bugs. This one is probably an order of operations error dealing with the order in which the disk is copied and the volume is mounted. This won't be complicated but it will take someone spending several hours with a practical testing environment to figure out what we should be writing a unit test to catch.
