I am not sure what you mean by GHOSTing Linux. From the rest of the messages related to this topic, it seems like you are trying to find a way to have some redundancy in the data on your hard drive(s). Since you already have one or more spare drives you want to use for the GHOSTing operation, wouldn't it be easier and/or simpler to use the spare drives to set up a RAID 1 (disk mirror) configuration? Then you won't have to worry about boot sector problems, etc. Cheers! Kevin. (http://www.interlog.com/~kcozens/) Owner of Elecraft K2 #2172 |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"
