It's not so funny when you do this accidentally, on a 2 TB disk full of user data, on a live production server, at 2AM on a Friday night...
(The server was part of a MogileFS cluster so there were multiple copies of the data online. There was no data loss, not even any downtime. Still, it was scary as hell, and I spent all Saturday in the data center restoring the box.)
