Is that the actual message? I can get a similar effect with my own LaCie
drive by opening a file for access on it and then trying to eject the
disk without closing the file. "Finder got an error. The operation could
not be completed because the file "LaCie" is in use." Do you perhaps have
a script or an application that's not tidying up after itself? It might
be preferable to sort out the problem at that end if possible.
