Subject: Re: rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on '/data/Backup/@' (same as '/')

Message-ID: <CAJ_hD5Af8YLw_Q0XOC4LLN+=HKKg7oSj+ide1sm4Sr2b7Qq1YA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

So somehow my @ and @home subvolumes became mounted at /data/Backup in
addition to their normal locations (/ and /home). So when I used 'dd'
I was outputting to my OS drive instead of my data pool. How did this
happen? How do I undo it? I'll try restarting now, but I'll await
further responses before replying to myself again.
