daemonfowl, I
am changing the subject, but the point is very fundamental given that you are taking a suboptimal risky approach to a task which may very well lose important data.
You are pleading for precise information which will guarantee that you will not lose anything important if you decide to rip out a good portion of an existing filesystem. Most will agree that there is risk involved with your venture, & there are no guarantees. I don't know your system. You may not either, but if you want a guarantee, you will back-up everything before starting.
That, my friend, is not hijacking. That is covering the fundamental issues which need to be addressed upfront.
