I accidentally untarred archive intended to be extracted in root directory, which among others included some files for /etc directory.
I went on to rm -rv ~/etc, but I quickly typed rm -rv /etc instead, and hit enter, while using a root account.


This is why you should setup daily snapshots of your system volumes.
Btrfs and ZFS exist for a reason.
Wish ZFS didn’t constantly cause my proxmox to need to be forcefully restarted after the ZFS pool crashed randomly.
I get months of uptime on a ZFS NAS, though I’m not using Proxmox. I don’t think it’s the filesystem’s fault, you might have some hardware issue tbh. Do you have some logs?
I just reformatted back to ext after messing with it for about a month, been totally fine since.
I do also assume it was something screwy with how it was handling my consumer m2
I am running a zfs raidz1-0 pool on 3 consumer nvme in my workstation, doing crazy stuff on it.
Ran zfs under proxmox with enterprise nvme and had the same issue.
It is proxmox, not zfs
That or make your system immutable
That’s my current approach. Fedora Atomic, and let someone else break my OS instead of me.
