I've seen a bit myself and there are number of reports of problems with corrupted directories and drives failing to mount so use some care with external drives if they have critical data.
Likely stripping a drive and configuring it under Panther is safest.
Our experience with Panther shows a very correlation with performance and stability and running somthing like Onyx DAILY.
Yep that's right every day.
Doing that makes it very very stable - NOT doing it leads to lost printers and drives and other odd behaviours.
The journaling aspect may be part of the Firewire issues.
People with feedback on this aspect should keep this thread rolling forward or I can change the name to Panther issues - let me know.
Note that currently Disc Warrior does not work completely with Panther.
Suggest upon mounting a Firewire drive run disc utility - this app has some improvements including burning - worth exploring.
