I'm fairly certain those problems (which didn't effect every Firewire 
drive, but only certain models; and even then, not consistently) were 
addressed in 10.3.1. (As of late October, a firmware update was 
available from Lacie for the models that could be affected, though it 
required booting into OS 9. A Mac OS X version is probably available by 
now.)
