I was testing a custom initramfs that would load a full root into a ramdisk, and when I was going to shut down I tried to run rm -rf --no-preserve-root / to see what would happen, since I was on a ramdisk anyway. The computer would not boot after that because it nuked the UEFI options.

Granted, now all computers run Linux. For a year. Then every computer switches back to windows, including all servers.

What an interesting design! I wonder what the inspiration was?

There is nothing like the sound of 2 dozen HDDs unexpectedly spinning down.

update: I managed to get it working, look at the edit

It recognised the disks in an ASR array, but the type is "unknown" and it fails to assemble with "Undefined RAID type (null)[1] on asr_". So I don't think that worked sadly.
EDIT: The RAID card I had supported RAID 5 and dmraid doesn't, that's probably why it's not working.

I could not find a --discover parameter, but I tried --assemble --scan and it couldn't find a super block.
It feels a bit frustrating to have all the data here but no way to access it, maybe a tool will pop up at some point if I hoard the disk images.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
