From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did you type:
lspci > /sdc1 lspci.txt
exactly like this? because that would pipe the output into/sdc1
. You probably want to pipe it into/your/mount/point/lspci.txt
(something like that).At least they didn't pipe it into
/dev/sdc1
that'd be a catastropheWhat would it do?
Edit:piping it no less
make the drive unmountable if it had a filesystem on it.
Wouldn't a reboot fix it
if you did lspci >/dev/sdc1, you would write the output of the command to the beginning of the filesystem on that partition, thus corrupting it.
