I got a WD 1TB My Book with eSATA/USB/Firewire400 connectivity to backup data on a client Centos 5.1 machine.
USB 2.0 works fine out of the box but is rather slow, Nautilus predicts about 1+ hour to fully backup just one day's worth of data or about 100GB.
So I was hoping Firewire would be faster, which is why we got the version with all 3 interfaces to experiment with first.
Following the suggestions given to another user here http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=15767&forum=3...
I updated the system's kernel to the CentoPlus [noob@localhost ~]$ uname -s -r Linux 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5
If that is the output, you are not running the centosplus kernel. It is supposed to be:
Linux 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.centos.plus
