How well does FreeBSD support firewire disks? Does hotplugging work properly? Does a bus reset endanger data? Can I turn the disk write cache on and off? Can I access SMART info? How fast are they? Specific firewire-to-sata bridges that are recommended? Specific bridges to avoid? Any known problems? I have a couple of USB-to-*ATA bridges and they are slow, and they don't allow turning the disk's write cache off, or access to SMART info. I know that firewire will be slower than esata, but the USB ones are really slow (10-15 MB/s) and not being able to turn the write cache on and off is a serious problem. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-firewire To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
