11:10 PM - its data loss day!

I attempted to move files from /home to /usr/backup today so i could switch /home to the hardware raid controller now that its supported in freebsd. (software raid now) In the process, my home directory doubled in size and didn't fit. I then attempted to copy data back. Guess what, it zero'd some of my files and worse yet it fucking copied the data inside the first level of itself.

i.e if i had a folder named /home/laffer1/movies, it also contains /home/laffer1/movies/movies!!!!!!! with all the data replicated!

WTF
