Firewire Diskdrive, etc.

Has anyone used a Firewire disk drive under Linux? If so, which distro? Any problems, etc?

Ilya020 · 01-16-2003, 06:36 PM

yes!, good question. Also, is there any video-editing program for Linux?

Thanks for the feedback. Here's a little background on why I'm asking:

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.

Ilya020 · 01-17-2003, 04:04 PM

O, but I am sure mine is firewire...what kind of camera does your wife use?

Ilya

revolution · 01-17-2003, 05:02 PM

a Kodak 340s High G. pretty good camera and it follows us on every vacation

sde · 01-17-2003, 05:34 PM

usually still cameras are usb. there is not really a need for firewire with cameras, unless the camera is a motion camera.

i have a firewire dv camera, but in 'still' mode, it uses a memory stick. ( sony )

Ilya020 · 01-17-2003, 06:56 PM

I have a firwire motion Sony TR-1500 ("thats it I think").

Love that camera, I can take video, digital video, and digital photos. g0d bless
