because the Firewire was causing us a kernel crash per week and we
were having to reboot our server because of the backup drives. This on
three different machines, one running SuSE 10 and two others with
CentOS 5 with the centosplus kernel.
I haven't had any problem with the machine since the FW drive was plugged in and left plugged in since I have not been physically back on location. What causes this crash and how would I know it is related to FW or not, in the event but hopefully never, the system does crash?
