Well, this is exciting. I think I've managed to accidentally mess up my partition tables and my Org notes only have df output instead of fdisk -l, so today might be Test My Backups Day after all!

is the system still running? it might be possible to recover enough information from the running system to reconstruct the partition tables if so. I don't really know how to do that, but the kernel surely knows where the mounted partitions are -

oh well... sorry for your loss. I'm glad it's just an inconvenience rather than a disaster. -

@lxo it's a couple of reboots and a few mkfs.ext4 calls away from my previous state. :) That's okay. If I've been doing things right, all the important stuff should be in git / on my blog / in my backups / on other devices.
