Well, irony of this is: In my case the RDB has been created on a

Exactly.
So moving a disk partitioned under AmigaOS 4.0 to a system running
an
older version of AmigaOS can fail miserably. Not a Linux issue.
Linux also doesn't warn about disks with GPT failing to work on
old MSDOS.>
Would MSDOS recognize the GPT partition as 'probably FAT', and
attempt to use it?
No idea...
Probably some old Windows or MacOS versions will just suggest to
format your "new" disk ;-)
Heh… MacOS X last I saw it just offers to initialize any disk it does
not know about. I had this with a friend who uses Mac quite some years
ago with an external harddrive with Linux filesystems. I told him Mac OS
X would not understand it, but he did not believe me. Well luckily
enough I have been quick enough to unplug the USB cable before he could
hit the initialize button. And yes, that is right, Mac OS X at that time
did not even tell the user that initializing means *formatting the disk
and making all data that was previously on it unavailable*. I did not
even believe it that they had no stern warning about initializing in the
dialog window. I hope they improved the wording meanwhile.
Thanks,
