[plug] Ghost and ext2 weirdness...

[Trevor Phillips]

Bugger. I sent this yesterday from home, where my PLUG alias was wrong. ^_^;;

------
I'm trying to use Ghost to set up a lab of machines with Linux partitions.
However, the restored images are not working (gives an error looking for
libraries just after it mounts the root partitioon). Upon closer examination
(booting off a recovery CD), it seems most of the files are there, but all the
ones I noticed missing were ones that were linked to! ie; the softlink would be
there, but the target file wasn't!

Has anyone encountered this before? Help!

Followup:
It turns out Ghost 6.something was stuffing up the image creation. Creating the
image with Ghost 5 and restoring with Ghost 6 was fine. I'd still be interested
if anyone knows any more about this.
