Ah, I see you have laid the ground for a light bulb joke here... Let me
try to organize it from your data above:
Q: How many linux audio users does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 10. One to change it, 3 to instruct the person changing it, and
half-a-dozen to wander off into some personal discussion or flame war.
Hmmm, its not there yet, but its a start. I think this can be a good joke
with some work though...

Do you notice USB2 stalling while doing things like
rsync?
USB1 stalls like crazy while USB2 is better but does
stall. On my system USB HHDs just aren't usable.
That's the reason I want to switch to firewire.
If we can work directly from the firewire disks then
all the better.

Hi,
I need to archive client data and would very much like
to work directly from the client HD. I've tried USB
and neither version of the protocol is fast enough.
Is firewire 800 fast enough to run a 16 track Ardour
recording session? If yes, then I don't need to move
data from an archive drive to a working drive. That
would be a big bonus.
If anyone could recommend specific controlers that
would be excellent. Someone gave me an older OSCI
firewire controler but I've never been able to get it
working.
I'm thinking about using drive trays that can be
inserted into cases. Some of the cases have multitple
bays where one could be a HD and the other a CD-R or
whatever. I've already got close to a dozen 80gig IDE
drives that belong to clients so the tray and case
seems like a good way to manage my past.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
ron

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
