I had a 20GB drive a few years back, but it never got a new filesystem, just a bunch of 4GB partitions, and a new scsi device driver.

You surely had a new file system. Otherwise your data would have had a very risky life. The 4GB limit applies to the drive size, not to partition size. As soon as the sum of all partitions exeeds 4GB the problem arises, although it might remain unrecognised until two partitions write data to the same place on the HDD. Only a working combination of scsi driver and file system fixes it. One part alone does not help a bit.
