It works, at least part of it, with my current rsync kernel. I can mount an SBP2 disk, I even managed to root on an SBP2 disk (with a hack I have in my kernel when you compile SBP2 built-in). That code comes from the linux-ieee1394 CVS with some additions & fixes from Daniel Berlin & Ira Weiny. Ben.
