Out of this this came his advice on the upgrading of the System using the Combo updater.
Personally I have come across 9 reports of problems with the LaCie Big/Extreme disks (not related to Firewire problems just data being lost as a result of problems). That seems a lot to me, therefore I don't trust the concept of RAID 0 in this instance. Better to buy 2 disks and RAID 5 them.
With the 10.3.6 Firewire problems that have been reported it is, as always, hard to know if the problems experience by some are common or just as a cause of poor system management or something else, or whether we are just hearing some noise about it but it is just coincidental.
Not that that helps anyone who has lost discs/data!!!!
The rumour sites also now have mention of 10.3.7 which may have some more Firewire fixes in (although the Apple UK guy hadn't seen it!)
