I recently had to take my G5 in to the apple store because my firewire drives stopped mounting. They replaced my logic board and the drives are showing up again. During the trouble shooting process, they did a lot of hot plugging of the firewire drives (I have always been able to do this with no problem on the four other macs I have owned with no problem.)
The problem, in my case, was not the hot-plugging but a known problem with some of the first G5's having bad logic boards. Apparently, I am not alone in this happening.

Just a slight aside : I would be cautious of "hot-plugging" firewire devices, doing so can permanently disable firewire on your logic board, requiring a complete new logic board.

Is that right? I thought one of the advantages of Firewire over SCSI was that it was hot-pluggable.
Or am I confusing that with USB over serial?
