That's funny - I started on fedora and switched to Centos when FC3 quit
recognizing firewire drives - it was temporarily fixed somewhere around FC5.

No, just 1394A. But considering the time it has taken to find working
versions of Linux, I think the next time I need firewire drives I'll buy
a Mac to run them... I was expecting to be able to run them as full
time raid1 mirror members but they would always have errors and be
removed under load. They have worked well enough to sync and
disconnect, though.
