i can't even figure out what size the drives are because i can't even look 
at the partition table.

I have to wonder if things would be any different if i unplugged the hard 
drive right now.

i can't run scp so i'm going to plug in a usb stick and try to back things 
up.  they might only exist in RAM for all i know.
