“groovy mother...”

Two very important things I learned today, which I’m posting here as a reminder to my future self

1. gpart saves your freaking life if you somehow corrupt the partition table on a Very Important server and need to revert it.
2. If you’re changing the partition table on a USB hard disk connected to a Very Important server, make sure you’re actually editing the table on the USB hard drive, and not the one on the RAID array that boots the Very Important server and hosts your source control, bug tracking, etc.
