Oracle has released firewire drivers and clustered filesystem software (I believe as open source). Reportedly, you can take a single firewire drive and connected it to 2 (or more) PCs via firewire. For more than 2 nodes, you can use a firewire hub. It makes for very cheap shared storage. The advantage is that you can now run Oracle's clustering solution for high availability under Linux without spending an arm and a leg. And if you're a geek, just trying it for fun, you can setup a couple of machines in a spare room.
Cool but is firewire used for Digital Cameras?
