I'ld use an external hard disk on a server of mine, and since USB 2.0
support is not available in FBSD 4.x, I'ld try with firewire.
(I can't install 5.4-R on it)
Any suggestion or hint ? Are there some recommended FW chipsets or
something to avoid ?
See section 3.12 of the hardware notes, the supported chipsets are
listed there.
I've been using an external FireWire HD (Maxtor 5000DV) with FreeBSD
4.10 and 4.11 for more than a year now and I've had no problems. My
system has ASUS P4B-533E motherboard with integrated FireWire controller:
fwohci0: <NEC uPD72874> mem 0xed800000-0xed800fff irq 12 at device 4.0
on pci2
fwohci0: OHCI version 1.0 (ROM=1)
fwohci0: No. of Isochronous channel is 4.
fwohci0: EUI64 00:e0:18:00:00:05:6b:74
fwohci0: Phy 1394a available S400, 3 ports.
fwohci0: Link S400, max_rec 2048 bytes.
firewire0: <IEEE1394(FireWire) bus> on fwohci0
sbp0: <SBP-2/SCSI over FireWire> on firewire0

... If it wasn't for C, we'd be using BASI, PASAL and OBOL!
