So, if someone (not me) was slick enough to create a ncurses or/and
graphical UI to do fdisk and tar, you then would have a GhC (ghost
clone) that far outpaced Ghost (GhC+), and would not only allow you to
move your files from one device to another (device independence), and
resize partitions, but ALSO let you migrate between file systems....
theoretically.
Now, you'd have to leave all your journals behind, but you're likely
going to have to do that in the best-case scenario anyway. Are there
other implications in "ghosting" journaled file systems that I'm not
aware of?
Oh, oh, and instead of calling it GhC+, we could call it "Advamtage!"
Whoot!
Okay, what did I miss? I know I missed something (other than who's
going to build this bad boy).
