[CentOS] Symantec ghost and CentOS 3.4/4.0

[Cesar Lagarrigue]

This sound nice...

My experience with symantec norton ghost is work on Centos 3.x ext3 
(also working well with ntfs win2000 and winxp/2003), but with Centos 
4.x ext3 this die with a error (and corrupt the file .gho). My version 
is Norton Ghost 8.0 Enterprise. (i test 8.2 but not working with centos 
4.x).

You could use a newer version of norton ghost, maybe are too old. (check 
KB/support of norton ghost), also tried to dump with ghost.exe -IR. 
(remeber this make images with free space and not work ghost explorer).

Check sourceforge.net or freshmeat.net for other software, i believe 
this are not the only make filesystem image.

I like to know if are other users have ghost and make images in no RAW 
(-IR) mode for clone centos 4.x, maybe a patch or something.
