Over the last 50+ years as Research Scientist I have tried to follow the policy that it's all right to make mistakes.. As long as you try not to make the same mistake in the same contiguous four hours - that is if you make a mistake in the morning, wait until that afternoon to repeat it. But even more important from the mistake and try not to repeat it. I think that making mistakes is an integral part of the scientific method.
Of course, there is a corollary - you can't teach an old scientist new science.
Having babbled for the last two paragraphs, I'll close buy saying that I will revert to the entire installation on the same partition.
