I am not sure what you mean by GHOSTing Linux. From the rest of the
messages related to this topic, it seems like you are trying to find a way
to have some redundancy in the data on your hard drive(s). Since you
already have one or more spare drives you want to use for the GHOSTing
operation, wouldn't it be easier and/or simpler to use the spare drives to
set up a RAID 1 (disk mirror) configuration? Then you won't have to worry
about boot sector problems, etc.

Cheers!
