This query is regarding fibre channel support on ubuntu on niagara.
I am using ubuntu on Niagara and stuck with some basics where thought of seeking your help :
1. Does Ubuntu on Niagara support Fiber Channel attached storage ?
2. Does Ubuntu on niagara support any Volume Manager ?
Thanks
Hi,
Ubuntu support is handled by Canonical, start by taking a look here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/sun (if you haven't already)
and maybe post your question on Ubuntu forums: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/
