well shucks! someone should've told me that before I ghosted my web 
server's hard drive, three hard drives of client machines and all the 
countless other "ext3" file systems that my boss has done in recent past 
using ghost. Darn, if we've known its not supposed to work then we may 
not have been able to do what we've already done. ;)

in short, yes it does and no you don't have to do anything special with 
fstab to make ghost work which is why I made the comment I did about it 
just working.
