I did write it, and appreciate constructive criticism and the help from
Max and Russ on the disclaimers. I added some additional warnings and
explanation about the device files, but left /dev/sda and /dev/sdb in
place as changing to /dev/sdX|Y looked very awkward to me.
I'm sorry if someone made a mess of a system following the procedure,
but it is not possible to prevent people from shooting themselves in the
foot if they fail to understand very basic commands whose effect is
self-evident to the vast majority of paid admins or other knowledgeable
Linux users.
