With a litle luck,
Since I don't think there is anything important in the root partition,
I still try to reboot my computer to see what will happen. Very Lucky,
my computer reboot normally. Thank you for all your suggestion.
But I still want to know what on earth mkswap does to the disk. IF it

I think it is not hard to do a backup right now. But the problem is I
use separate partition for /home /usr /usr/portage/distfiles /var
/tmp.
So, how can I exclude these directory when I use cp -av?

I still wonder that after mkswap the root partition, I even do
swapon. But this time, it says it is invalid argument. So I think the
data on that disk will not be lost, since it did not serve as the swap
partition. So is it still screwed?

The first solution I was thinking of would be to back your system up
before you reboot, and then re-create the filesystem and re

Hi there,
Today, I applied mkswap on root partition by accident ( I thought that
was swap, but it is root). And since this is the only system on my
laptop, I even don't dare to reboot my computer after that. Does it
really matter? Or what should I do to recover?
Thank you all!
