Ahha. Fair enough :)
I guess. Maybe more messages after every action.
Let's say. rm 7, when it's done. A message like "parition 7
deleted successfully" or something.

Yes. Ok. I rmed the hfs partition, and then did a rescue, but it
doesn't seem to help. I guess what's happened was, that
partition was still mounted while it's being deleted. And so
the fs is screwed. Yeah?

Yay! :)
So is there anything I could at least rescue some data in that
partition?
Thanks again.
