Damn it, dd! Stop doing what I say! Or at least warn me... Ugh...
I ~meant~: $ dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc
but I said: $ dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
/dev/sdb ~had~ important stuph on it.
Now, it has an in-determinate amount of garbage copied verbatim from /dev/sda, as much as it could copy before I read what I'd written, shrieked, and filled the keyboard buffer with <CTRL>+c's followed by some important stuph I might never see again.
S igh. ..
I think step 0 of my "get some back" plan is to zero out the bit of /dev/sdb that matches /dev/sda, in order to get rid of the bogus information at the beginning of the disk. Anyone have a script handy?
Links for when I get to steps 1-99?
