Does your filesystem and SCSI device support >4GB partitions? If not you probably wrote above 4 GB and it has wrapped around to the beginning of the drive and destroyed the RDB.

Doesn't matter how the drive is split up. If the filesystem or SCSI device don't know how to address above 4GB it will still wrap around. You were probably just lucky until now.

I once had a problem with a drive with a b0rked RDB which I couldn't partition. I put the drive in a Windows machine, did a zero fill, then it partitioned ok on the Amiga. Of course you should back up before you do this :-)
