Ghost does not resize the partitions, it mirrors the partition sizes exactly. It leaves it up to you to allocate the new extra space.

They say it supports all the "popular" OS's. For some reason Linux doesn't appear on the list though. I think you would need specific support for each FS (Reiser in this case) particularly when migrating to a larger HD, as you'd want to adjust partition sizes olong the way. Ghost handles this for ext2, but I don't think it sees any of the journalled FS's. Partimage may be the only solution, although as said previously, my cursory tryout was unsuccessful. As I have Ghost, I was probably not motivated enough to make it work. Brian On Tue, 2002-03-19 at 19:47, FemmeFatale wrote: > If You need it & don't mind buying software, get Drive Copy.
