Hi, having a rm command accidentally removing 3/4 of my system yesterday, I am starting to wonder whether it is possible to have rm reliably stop at bind mounts. I know there is a --one-file-system option, but it is not working when the bind mount points to the same device: % cd /tmp % mkdir -p a/b c/d ; touch c/d/file ; mount --bind c a/b % find a a a/b a/b/d a/b/d/file % rm -rf --one-file-system a rm: cannot remove `a/b': Device or resource busy % find a a a/b `file' has been removed. Imho the name of the --one-file-system option is misleading as it only compares st_dev fields. Besides filing a bug/enhancement ticket for coreutils, does someone know a reliable way to stop rm in such cases? -- Thomas Moschny <thomas.moschny@xxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
