Reminds me of the time when I bind mounted my home dir in a chroot, then rm -rfed the chroot when I no longer needed it...

Wanted to reorganize my /mnt once and did an rm -r ... without unmounting the network share of production.
We have backups now.

Reminds me of the company where one of the top brass tried to unmount an important fileshare with rm. That was the day they found out that they didn't have recent backups of a, shall we say disquieting, amount of important information and people's work.

Staff started taking their own private backups of important things after that.
