Yep. I was going for pointing out the fact that he obviously logged in so he 'touched' it and the OP is not so stupid as to wipe the whole drive when 90%~ of the comments of this post say no to. And I really doubt the 'logical' decision of anyone who manages to post to HN for advice will be to wipe the drive without getting a snapshot. And since it is a prod server, the same server has to be used unless they use AWS or some other cloud service.
- FilterSweep 10y agoThanks for clarifying. I believe the point the parent was getting at is that there could be other unintended consequences to taking relatively good advice. Honestly, I'd even argue there is some better advice on server fault/HN than some professionals - but the difference is getting the professional has a paper trail that you can't say "well, some DBA on server fault told me!"
