i havent had any trouble accessing drives with 1394 under linux except
on my laptop, but i think that either the 1394 port itself is a little
touchy or the controller is.  i have the same issues under windows
with it.  i recently got a 1394 hub on clearance for 5 bucks, i am
going to attempt hooking up 2 computers to a hard drive and play with
one of the shared media file systems (the one redhat bought, i dont
remember its name offhand).  i dont know if this will work or not, as
i know under windows only 1 pc can have the drive mounted, the other
pc wont even attempt to use it.  we shall see.

i also want to attempt to network the machines over 1394 and stress
test it to see if it breaks.
