Okay, so there I was ...
I get back from the gym, seriously tired, and my addled brain forgets it
was doing some rearranging of partitions on the server and hadn't
unmounted the /var partition yet, and it of course convinces my fingers
to rm -rf the var partition to erase any files that might have been put
there while I was away, before remounting /var.
Of course (stop laughing colm!) the mount command
reported that /var was indeed mounted and I'd just erased the whole
blasted thing. *ahem*
So, anyone know a faster way to restore full health besides
re-installing ?
(Debian slink BTW)

ps. I'd just like to point out that when my brain isn't glucose-starved
I'm usually not such a windows user. :)

pps. Colm, if you don't stop laughing I'm gonna thump your penguin !
