more info on ext2/3
Ghost Explorer prevents you from adding files to the root folder of Linux Ext2/3 partitions. If you add files, the new files are not visible when you restore the image, and the e2fsck tool reports errors.
File-based images only.
Just wanted to add that the Ghost Explorer only supports these operations for file-based (standard) images, and not sector-based images. These operation do not work on images made with -IR, or Linux images where the -IAL switch has to "fall back" to a sector-based copy (for instance, with an unsupported distribution).
