or say "damn, where did my partition table go !"

I can't remember if I lost any work :)

strings /dev/sdC0/plan9 will let me know eventually !

note to self, be more careful when messing around at storage :>


I'm serving drives to WinXP64 via AOE with http://winaoe.org/
I've had a few blue screens but I think they have been caused by the
server side serving bad data. If the vblade goes away after being
mounted the NT kernel keeps trying to read it which amounts to waiting
for network packets to arrive and of course they never do so any NT
syscalls take forever (though they run eventually). It does come back to
life even if you vblade a different sized disk.
