By Rob LaRose -
Over the last couple of months, I've started getting an annoying number of Firewire drives that while mounted, just stop being writable. The app throws one error or another, but ultimately I find if I try to create a folder on the drive, Finder returns Error -50.
The drive is usually not unmountable at that point. Force-unmount and re-mount and the drive comes up nicely again until the next time.
Disk Utility sees nothing wrong with the volume.
Too many different disks & manufacturers to blame it on new bad batch of hardware. Sporadic and everywhere.
Anyone else seen this behavior of late? We went to 10.7.5 a while back, I suppose it *could* be related...
