Ghost Solution Suite

I manage a student lab of 16 computers that are dual boot.  In the past, the computers were Vista/Ubuntu 9 - but we need to upgrade these to use Win7 & Ubuntu 10.04.

Ghosting the Win7 alone seems to work fine. 

The problem is after we then install Ubuntu 10 (which uses ext4).  The "master machine" runs perfectly - when I attempt to create an image of this machine using Ghost 11.5, I get an error message telling me that "there is a problem with the linux partition".


Is there a patch for Ghost that will allow it to clone ext4 partitions?
(and hopefully, it will also understand Grub2)

No. If you want to use Ghost you'll have to do a sector by sector image (sucks), or you can use clonezilla.

I'll bet they're working on it.
