Comment Future of Firewire (Score 1) 123
We have a pile of Fibre Channel connected disk right here where I work. The product is the Sun A5000 arrays. At a relatively low level the fibre channel is some special high speed bus. But when you install the drivers in Solaris the fibre channel connected disk is presented to the operating system as a pile of SCSI controllers, targets and disks. It seems to me that regardless of the fact that the underlying bus is fibre channel, fire wire or smoke signals atleast one layer of abstraction is going to be SCSI.
