Of course. Everyone does once. Some how the Unix world survives. Like you guys somehow survived with your indescribably

I'm z/OS internals oriented, not Linux internals. So "well known" Linux/UNIX hacks like this could be run against me.

If you can't learn to partition your world thusly, and back up regularly, you really shouldn't use Unix.
