Ghost works as-is on FreeBSD partitions. Since it doesn't know jack about the file system format, it dumps all the blocks to the image file, and restores them as such. This makes it slower than molasses, and causes it to use nearly as much space as the original FBSD partition. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
