Do FireWire drives work well on Intel Macs running Linux? I'd like to run Linux, but don't have enough room on my internal drive, and can't install a second one because it's a laptop (MacBook Pro).
I ask because people report very mixed results of using FireWire storage on the linux1394-user mailing list (http://www.linux1394.org/). I installed Debian for PowerPC on an IDE drive with a WiebeTech DriveDock attached to a G3 iBook. The yaboot boot loader didn't support FireWire, so I put the kernel and initrd on the iBook's internal drive. I expect a similar strategy will work as long as FireWire storage is working reliably. Thanks for any advice you can give me.
