I have been running a 10 Gig IDE drive as both my AmigaOS AND Linux boot
for about 18 months or so. ATM I can say that I've not lost any data on
the miggy partitions because of a fault on the linux ones. And I have
had errors on the linux side that made me run fsdsk manually to repair
it.

And all the partitions AmigaOS AND linux have a block size of 1024.
