On the contrary, my friends. :-P There was a post to this list
probably a month or so ago about a linux Norton Ghost like util
that supports just about every major fs available in Linux. I
didn't actually get to try it out cuz I had just finished cloning
the drives I needed with xfsdump/xfsrestore when the message came
across but I remember it because I had needed exactly that not 2
days before the message hit the list. The link was
http://www.partimage.org. You can also always just do what I did
and pipe the output of xfsdump to xfsrestore(or do the same with
tar for that matter), too.
