    All -

    I know zero about firewire - I've never used it or even touched it.

    I have read that you can set up clustering on an external firewire drive
    connected to two Linux machines. What I don't know is how to do it - I
    know nothing about firewire, historically being a USB user. This is *not*
    for a production environment - it is for my own education at home.

    What hardware do I need to use to let a single external firewire disk be
    accessed by two Linux servers at the same time? I figure I need the
    external enclosure, a firewire card for each server, and some sort of a
    firewire hub (if there is such a thing). Am I on the right track?

    Anyone done this and had any experiences good or bad?

    Thanks!
    Thomas
