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 :).
