Edit: I was able to recover my partitions by creating new partition starting and ending with same exact sectors.

I was copying files from my previous installation to my new Gentoo installation. After I was done. I ran wipefs on /dev/nvme0n1 thinking it is my old nvme drive which is connected through usb. I am in disbelief. Lost all of my configuration files. My perfect installation of gentoo. Just gone. How do I never make such mistake again? Thankfully I had backup of passwords file. Rest is gone. I am sad.

    @lemmylemonade Just read, I am sorry for your wiped drive. The only solution I could think of is having a copy of your drive somewhere else. However I understand that just dropping money on a spare drive isn’t always a practical solution.
