Gotchas? Does SATA prefer a certain fs?

AFAIR there's a sourceforge project which does similar things like
Ghost, but I do not remember the name, sorry.

I looked into this a while back & found 2:
  http://freshmeat.net/projects/g4u/
  http://freshmeat.net/projects/g4l/

I believe that one claims the other is a rip-off of his work, but from a usage point-of-view both are open-source. I can't recall why I found neither of them to be suitable for me in the past - I ended up using `partimage` from the Knoppix CD.

`partimage` allowed me to save my partition images onto a USB hard-drive & split them up to cope with the FAT32 file size limit. It worked perfectly but I recall it took me a few tries to get it right as the originating hard-drive had a number of partitions, primary & logical.

Stroller.
