While its true that RHEL4 (which Centos is based off of) has no XFS
filesystem support,  I'm pretty sure that it has firewire support. I'm
not really clear on what you mean by hot swapping. Are you referring
to storage devices?  If so, that is determined by the driver, and most
definitely works for SCSI devices.

Also note that RHEL5 has alot better overall hardware support than
RHEL4 (which is based largely off of what existed when a 2.6.9 kernel
was relatively new).
