    SubjectRe: Firewire Disks. (fwd)
    Hi,

    > I know there is support for "firewire" in the kernel. Is there
    > support for "firewire" disks? If so, how do I enable it?

    Yes, there is and it is attached to the SCSI layer via the sbp2 driver.
    You need following set of modules to get it working:

    scsi_mod, sd_mod, ohci1394, raw1394, ieee1394, sbp2

    I know that you will find out which options you need to enable in the
    kernel config ;).

    You might want to check out the CVS version of the ieee1394 drivers but
    I don't think it is necessary. It works perfectly back here with a
    Maxtor 160GB. Funny enough I had 158GB with the VFAT on it and 152GB
    with ext2/ext3.

    The speed results were also quite interessing:

    VFAT writing : 12.8 Mbyte/s
    ext2/ext3 writing: 19.2 Mbyte/s

    I simply like that disk and it's a nice extension for a laptop :).

    Cheers,
    Roberto Nibali, ratz
