[olug] linux / freebsd as firewire disk?

[Hurley Rod]

Isn't that what drive sharing accomplishes?  Share out the drive(s) and
the pc B doesn't care what's on pc A, just that it can see the shares.
Depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

Subject: [olug] linux / freebsd as firewire disk?

Is there any project / method to make a computer running linux or a  
freebsd behave as if it were a firewire (or usb) disk?  Meaning that  
you could run a firewire cable to another computer and that other  
computer would believe that the linux/freebsd host was in fact a  
firewire drive and not a computer.

This would be analogous to the way that a Mac can be put into 'target  
disk mode' and pretend to be a firewire disk, but ideally with the  
operating system (linux/freebsd) actually running.

Thanks,
