The term "file system" can of course have different meaning to different people - you could also argue it means "file system type", with unexpected results for the interpretation of "--one-file-system". Anyway, that is nitpicking on my side; obviously it was clear what I meant: An option to make rm walk the tree, ignoring (=not following) mount points. Thanks for opening the ticket. As a side note: I am not sure whether that also means it should remove stuff normally hidden by such a mountpoint? As long as such a "--no-traverse-mount-points" option is not available yet for rm, I am still looking for suggestions on how to achieve the same effect in a shell script. -- Thomas Moschny <thomas.moschny@xxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
