I just wanted to delete the link, and of course, it deleted the target. I then immediately mounted the filesystem read-only. (it's all I could think of to do to preserve things right at that state...) I did not have a snapshot enabled on the filesystem. I know the bits are still there ... is there any way to get them back ? thanks.
