I had a dream the other night that I accidentally deleted the ls command and it broke a bunch of shit on my linux server.

Yet it still booted, and my mdadm raid array was still intact. I had to boot from a live CD to copy the command over.

As someone who knows enough about linux to run a ubuntu file server, but has never contributed to a meaningful open source project in his life, is this something that can actually happen?

Sure. There's a story around somewhere of someone deleting basically all of /bin and was able to recover the live system

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
