-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Prem,
We're not using partimage-ng. So, I haven't worked with it since I initially wrote the code to handle it. partimage can definitely handle a mix of windows and linux images. We use it quite heavily. Also, I see there is a newer version of partimage-ng than the one I compiled into the rootimg.gz image, and it can even handle LVM partitions. So, it may be worth giving that a shot. I was hoping to see if I could replicate your problem soon but didn't have time to. I'm out all next week. So, it'd be the first week of July before I'll have any time to do any testing with it.
