Here's what I need to know.
On a Proliant ML-530, running Redhat 7.3 Kernel 2.4.18:
How well would transferring files to an external firewire Hard drive work. I know the speed would be there, but what about size limitations? Can I get above the 2 GB limit?
Would it simply be a matter of installing a firewire adapter, installing drivers, and letting it "rip"?
I've heard Redhat isn't as friendly as other OSes at hot-swapping firewire devices.
Do some Linux-compatible adapters do better than others?
Any Compaq hardware issues regarding this scenario?
Input on any of the above questions is appreciated.
