106512: Mac OS X 10.1: Stops Responding During File Transfer Between FireWire Devices states: "Mac OS X stops responding during a large FireWire-to-FireWire device file transfer (copy). This does not occur when Mac OS X is used with one FireWire data storage device at a time. If the issue persists, use one of the following workarounds: Copy smaller amounts of data at a time; Copy the data from one FireWire device to a non-FireWire volume, then from the non-FireWire volume to your other FireWire device; Start up from Mac OS 9.2.1 to perform the file copy. A future release of Mac OS X may address this behavior." Note: Dik Gregory reports exactly this problem, which occurred when he tried to transfer data from one FireWire drive to another.
