[linux-lvm] LVM and Ghost

Some of our admins are running into trouble running Norton Ghost on
our RHEL ES 3.0 boxes. Ghost claims it doesn't recognize what's on
the disk so it just does a raw dump of the entire (36 Gig) disk.
This offers practically zero compression, so we're getting ghost
images that are many times larger than the amount of actual used
space on the machine.
The only difference I can think of between these machines and our
other Linux boxes that ghost perfectly well is that these are using
LVM. Is this causing the problem with Ghost? Has anyone else run
into this? What can we do to get Ghost to recognize where the data
is on the disk so we can get some sort of reasonably sized images?
Anything?
