you can even clone a complete setup without touch fstab
below they way i cloned two physical machines with 3
RAID devcies (linux -software RAID) by booting both
with a Live-CD, enable sshd and setup a ssh-key to
not need type password

the setup is
 * RAID1:  /boot
 * RAID10: /
 * RAID10: /data

they have now both the same UUIDs everywhere
as VMware converter is even able to mirgate a running
pyhsical machine over SSH to a VM in the cluster this
is quite easy for linux-systems

[root at localhost ~]# cat /clone.sh
