well i had one, i was keeping multiple copies of my files on shares
over my network, but over time i had alot of different versions of my
files, i moved them all onto my laptop so i could consolidate them and
then move them back onto my server, but at the same time was playing
with installing gentoo on this new laptop.  ive never had two HDs in a
laptop before and without thinking did mke2fs -j /dev/hda1 during the
install and blew away my ntfs partition that i was going to dual boot
and that had all my freshly moved files on  ;-)
i cant believe i was that incredibly stupid, but yes i hope i never do
that again.  getting in a hurry only makes problems.
