Firewire disks on linux!

http://www.csb.yale.edu/userguides/sysresource/disks/fire_admin.html

Basically, I plugged in the disk, removed various modules that were already loaded (ohci1394, sbp2, ieee1394), then ran modprobe -v ochi1394 which reloaded the modules; typed "dmesg" to verify where the disk showed up (/dev/sda), ran fdisk and mkfs.reiserfs to create the file system, and there we have it.

Now I just hope I can copy most or all of the crap off the raid before the server dies repeatedly... :-\


This url: http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Unix/Linux/LINUX_InstallingIEEE1394FireWireHardDriveLinux.shtml seems to (slightly) abstract the info from the first URL.
