I did it again, after almost three years of spotless record, i wiped my server root partition clean...
Well as usual i was trying to put sense in my back up setup which had quickly become a mess since its initiations. I had several copies of many folder lying around on multiple partitions. So i wrote a geneous script to find the dupes catlog them and copy them over to the central backup partition. This went surprisingly without a hitch. Excited i just wiped out the original files, only to find out my root partition was also on one of the drives.
So my data is safe, my OS is not and all those scripts i wrote over the years are now reduced to sweet memories.
Being stupid is probably best way to force yourself to upgrade old unsupported gutsy systems.
PS: jaunty live cd/server cd will not boot with 64 mb ram, you _have_ to use alternate cd.
