We work with FB 1.x on 24x7 systems, based on Linux - FB preinstalled by supplier. We're not entirely pleased with what we saw; random corruption, database server committing all available memory when trying to sweep its tables. At inadvertent times sucking up all CPU cycles. I probably forgot a few things.
We managed to get the systems relatively stable by closing and committing transactions as soon as possible (this is actually funny, because we do reads only), by disabling the clean sweep and backing up often and restoring every once in a while.
And what's up with the FB 1.x gbak tool under Linux?

Yes, we read the docs. And scoured the FB forums and read the scary tales too.

Hope that FB 2.0 is a *lot* better.
