I luckily did get a bunch of errors stating operation not permitted, so for all I know
nothing has been deleted. Things are still running seemingly okay.

Can anyone shed some light on what my stupidity might lead to?

Thanks,
Jim

I don't think you can delete much if anything in /proc and I suspect you
can't in /sys either. /dev/ would have been more of a problem, but might
be fixed by a reboot or running makedev.

Yeah, indeed, you can reboot and that will unmount proc or/and sys. I've left it mounted various times, and realised during the ltsp-build-image stage, resulting in lots of nasty error messages, but no lasting damage. When it happenned, I restarted the computer, prayed a bit, and everything was a ok.
