   Here's a fun interaction I discovered between Silverlining 5.31/12 and
   System 7.0's Finder-

   Try the 'Put Away <CMD-Y>' command to unmount partitions on your hard
   drive. When you reboot, 'voila'- you'll have a trashed Master File Directory
   for the entire drive.

   Workarounds include Disk First Aid and Dragging the Volume to the
   Trash Instead or using <CMD-Y>.

This is certainly worrisome, especially since 5.3x was so long in
coming.  One would have thought that LaCie would have tested this.

Have you reported this to LaCie yet?  Any response?

I'm still waiting for my upgrade; they've managed to cash my $25
check, but so far I've not seen a happy little upgrade disk poking out
of my mailbox...  :-(
