I did ask this way back when RHEL4 came out because I was looking to
play with the Oracle+RAC+Shared Firewire Disk testing setup
documented on Oracle Metalib...
I can't find the support request but the gist of it was no. It might
make a reappearance in RHEL5 but it was unlikely to make it back into
the 2.6.9 kernel in RHEL4 because the necessary backported fixes to
the ieee1394 code in that kernel version were a lot of work with a
lot of dependencies on other things. I realise that's the least
specific report I've ever give *cue vague handwaving* but it was so
long ago I don't remember the details.
