I experienced similar problems with my VIA VT6306 and a FW/ATA bridge with a disk attached to it. With december 13th FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE the problems vanished and the firewire disk is working perfectly. Has the driver changed the last days? By the way: The size of my disk was not probed completely right. I had to reduce my filesystem by 100kb before I was able to write a filesystem.
