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
