Here is my advice: 1. go outside, away from your computer - panic 2. when you calm down do back and send output of: mount 3. If you notice that something is mounted more than once - and without remount option - wait for other people to respond with ideas 4. If 3. is the case rub your lucky charm, do your lucky dance, pray - whatever works for you to perform lucky miracles 5. do not panic - if 3. is the case and you somehow mounted root partition multiple times (mount should fight you) and your computer is still running and you write these emails on it - it is probably not too bad.
