How much luck (if any) have people had with the shared disk on firewire drives that Oracle touts on its website? I'm going to be trying in the next couple of weeks here (hopefully, if the machines arrive) but I'd be interested to hear of any success stories.

For those unfamiliar, it's a bargain-basement way of having a shared disk subsystem: two firewire cards, and an IDE drive in an external enclosure, and wallah! shared disk.
