I haven't had a single problem with Opticals under 3.0 - and I also had backups  
as well as other important info on about six different disks all formatted  
under 2.1, 2.2 and 2.2a

However, when the System panics, I do end up Repairing any disk that is  
inserted (the repair is as expected, but the panic is not :-(
