Hello,
I’m working on an Incus Mageia image.
The image build fails due to rsync trying to remove boot/efi while being in use.

I tried to find out what’s wrong and while looking at distrobuilder code, found rsync command with a comment about boot/efi (i.e. my build error):
https://github.com/lxc/distrobuilder/blob/4ebc3cbe5d3f74c6b4a6fb0c1b3d79097a90942a/distrobuilder/main_incus.go#L354-L359
Is there any workaround to skip/solve this rsync issue?
Maybe I did something in the wrong way?
Image descriptor: mageia.yaml
Runner: Mageia 9 VM (tested on Fedora 38, the build fails with the same error)
Thank you for your help.
