For what it's worth, after testing the Plan 9 4-disk set on a machine
here at MIT, we also noticed the Linux partition wiped, even though we
had cleared up room on the first IDE disk after the DOS partition.
(We're good about not keeping important data on non-backed-up storage,
though; there wasn't really anything there besides the operating
system.)

Bad business, very bad.
