I did not have much luck on digging through the archives. Does anyone have any sucess stories on using external firewire drives on the stable branch of freebsd? Does hot swap work? Can I mount, dd or ufsdump or newfs/rsync, then umount and unplug it cleanly? I'm considering my options for doing once-a-month backups, and tape just totally blows the budget. I'm currently using a second drive to produce snapshots, but that doens't leave me with any off-site backups without taking the system down to swap drives. -- Jason Fesler, <jfesler@gigo.com> http://gigo.com/resume.html "Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day; set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."
