Heheh, I had much more fun than that. Told it to leave my /home (~ 80 
gig on /dev/hda9) untouched and mount it as /home, and format the 
others as xfs.  Instead of leaving hda9 untouched, it trashed the file 
system instead.  Some quality time with xfs_repair recovered it after 
deleting the log (which couldn't be replayed), but that was a bit 
scary :p  While I have backups of the critical stuff, I was very happy 
to not have to go through the effort, thanks to xfs_repair :)

That was the Thursday or Friday daily build of Kubuntu, don't recall 
which.  Watch out for that first step, it's a doozy :-)
