Symantec GHOST IMAGING FOUNDATION 7.1 - V1.0 Manual page 162

162 Ghost for Linux
Supported configurations
GRUB
LILO
SysLinux
ext2, ext3 Resize inode
Ghost supports version 0.97 and earlier of GRUB.
Later versions may also work.
Any references to a disk other than the first hard
disk in the system (/dev/hda or /dev/sda) are not
supported. The /boot and root file systems must
be on the first hard disk. The /boot directory can
be a directory within the root file system.
Symantec Ghost assumes that GRUB has been
installed in the standard /boot/grub directory or
/grub in a /boot partition and uses the standard
file name /boot/grub/stage 2. Non-standard GRUB
installations are not supported.
Note:
It is recommended that you use GRUB in
preference to LILO.
Ghost supports version 22.5.1 and earlier of LILO.
It only supports the linear mode, not the lba32
mode. This means the /boot files must be in the
first 8.4Gb on the disk.
Symantec Ghost uses the /etc/lilo.conf file to
determine the boot configuration. If this file does
not match the boot configuration, Symantec Ghost
may be unable to patch LILO during cloning.
Used, for example, on bootable USB sticks. Ghost
supports version 3.11 (other versions may also
work).
Ghost drops the resize inode. When Ghost
restores a partition it resizes the file system
within it to use all of the available space.
