Would MSDOS recognize the GPT partition as 'probably FAT', and attempt

No idea...
Probably some old Windows or MacOS versions will just suggest to
format your "new" disk ;-)
Yep, that's what I'd expect. Windows even used to trash the LILO boot
code in the MBR if you just happened to boot to it by accident. Did we
complain?
Those days Linux users just knew not to use Windows ;-)
For good reason. But that happened on a couple of instrument control PCs
I converted from Win2k. Never mount a scratch monkey...
Personally, I see no reason to depend on a kernel option, if it is safe to use.
Just use it.
So to recap - someone partitions a disk on AmigaOS 4.x, taking advantage
of the large block device support there.
Using that disk on AmigaOS 3.1, data loss ensues. Whether or not Linux
(patched) ever touched the disk has no impact on that outcome.
Right?
That's my understanding, too.
OK, that decides it.
Cheers,
Michael
