Just make sure that the drive is using a file system the other box has support for. A bigger issue will be "does the other box have support for your file system?". Using reiserfs may be a problem if the other box doesn't have it, and even ext3 will be.. interesting.. if the other box is a Windows box (in which case you're probably better off just making the FS fat32 and mounting it on your SELinux box with fscontext=) Please note that if the other box *writes* to the file system, you'll probably need to run 'restorecon' on it when you mount it back on the SELinux-bsed box before things will really work right, and you are the mercy of the other box'es security while it's mounted there. If you trust the other box to not leave a Trojan on the file system, the quick answer is "go for it, and restorecon when it comes back". If you don't trust the other box, then it gets a lot more interesting....
