I recently had a power failure caused by severe thunderstorms, which resulted in some screwed up partitions on my primary workstation. A blind fsck screwed up python and portage, which made the system completely unusable. Luckily, I had a stage4 tarball created with mkstage4, but it was way out of date (December 5 2021, 5.15 eries kernel). I was able to wipe (nvme-cli for NVMEs and hdparm --security-erase for the SATA SSDs) and recreate the partitions, then extracted the tarball (multi-threaded, using pbzip2), and was able to successfully chroot the install.
