Thanks for the input all. The environment that this unit is in will be for video editing - so file sizes will be rather large. I am wondering if going with GB NIC card would be a better solution? I only have three computers on this VLAN and the Fedora box is within just a few feet of the video editing machine. Any thoughts on GB NIC cards with Fedora? thanks, DF On Tue, 2003-12-16 at 18:00, Keith Lofstrom wrote: > > Questions about USB2 on Fedora... > > I have used USB2 interfaced drive cages with both RH9 and Fedora. > I have seen some lock-up behavior on very large (like 10GB+), max > rate data transfers with the SanMax InClose drive tray system. > I have not had time to narrow down the cause.
