One day I'll unlearn to squeeze all information out of my e-mail
for the sake of brevity :-(
What I meant was, I'm going to use the disk in its previous role,
which was in a strictly 4ed workstation and/or CPU server. Will
it even boot?

It certainly didn't succeed, as tar of the entire filesystem delivers
929026560 bytes of readable data. What worries me is whether I'll
be able to access that filesystem once I reboot the 3ed system I'm
using presently. I think I'll back up the whole lot as soon as I
have a host to do it to.
