Would you recommend the product? yes | Price you paid? (in USD): $405.00 | Rating: 8

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.15-1.2009.4.2_FC5
Distribution: Fedora Core 5 Test 3



I haven't tested this product extensively under Fedora Core 5 (Test 3), but it was recognized by the OS without any additional configuration. I did need to install the mt RPM package since that isn't installed by default.

I did run into some strange behavior when trying to set block sizes, but as long as I didn't try to change the block size, it backed up and restored without a problem.
