@admitsWrongIfProven @nixCraft well, it starts alphabetically via the glibc collation and by default the locale is english so the a b c directories went first. Etc is high up there and they are usually small in size, so realisticially. No matter how fast you were cancelling it, the configuration store is already likely gone and the machine in due of a reinstall. Now granted you may save your live data from var lib, home? Questionable and depends on the size.
