I am using several firewire drives successfully on a SuSE 8.2 system
(Matrox 160 GB and 240 GB IIRC). If memory serves me right, I initially
had some issues with mounting under 8.1 and occasionally had to reboot the
system before the kernel would recognize the HD. I take it that you loaded
the necessary kernel modules before you attempted to mount the HD. As of
lately both HDs are mounting without fail. Perhaps they have learned to
obey :). Oh, and I remember one more issue I had: Bought a firewire cable
that worked fine under windows but not for the life of it under linux. I
have not researched the finer details of this obscure behavior and simply
gotten myself another cable. This doesn't seem to be a problem in your
case as you were initially able to format the drive, right?
Now, I still have an issue when I unmount one of the firewire HDs and
unhook it. This will invariably make the kernel spit up with a journaling
error (I use reiserfs on my HDs) and the other HD can not be accessed
anymore. Since I don't have to do this very often it is a minor annoyance
at this point, nothing else.
Best regards, Alex.
