Yes, I am back on Fedora 9. Is something wrong with Ubuntu? Nope, just an idiot Linux user run a script without care. I partially nuked the first part of /dev/sda. My home parition is at last of disk. Actually, I have no idea what the script will do. That script didn't at first, I then ran with sudo. When I checked the script, I saw dd, I was wondering doesn't this script is to analyse my files (No, it's not), but I still run with sudo. I wasn't aware of what would be done on my disk when I just ran.
Few minutes later, I feel strange why took so long? I read the article for the first time, then imediately switched to terminal and press CTRL+C. At that moment, I only laughed at what I did. I know I got to save my files, those in home dir. I know I can't reboot, or plug this disk to other computer. The very first portion of this disk had just completely wiped out. Partition table is gone. I need to take time when I still can access the disk.
I plugged a USB harddisk, no luck; tried the DVD drive, still no luck. I don't dare to close the terminal which I used to nuke my disk. Almost all programs in /usr/bin were gone. mount was gone. So I think saving via network is possible the only thing I can try since I still can tweet and use Firefox to check emails. Luckily, I have rsync. So I copied my home dir to another computer. However, I didn't copy those configuration files because the command I gave is not complete. But I can accept the loss, it's better than nothing saved.
Then, I think should I install Ubuntu again, or go back to Fedora? I chose going back. Now Fedora is updating, downloading really takes long long time.
