Linux source workload with temporary mounted volumes.

Situation

When Linux servers are selected for protection or migration with temporary mounted volumes included, the job may fail with an error like:

'Source volume <ID> does not exist'

Resolution

This issue can occur when the temporary mounted volume is removed from the source.

To resolve this issue, ensure that the temporary volume is always mounted, or exclude this volume from the protection or migration.
