Just out of curiosity, and since people I know have argued this. If you ran rm -rf /, will it keep running until 100% of the system is gone leaving only what's in physical memory and RAM, or will it eventually choke and fail, leaving some files? We hosed a virtual server environment (gomer) on a test box once, and it left just the /dev folder, but what will remain if done on non-virtual environments? I'd argued nothing would be left. _____________________ Regards, Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Crawford" <rscrawford@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 7:53 PM Subject: Re: help UMKC-Student said: > help $ su - Password: # cd / # rm -rf * That should help you out.
