actually, this is incorrect. rm -rf is not really as powerful for removing systems as you would think. assuming that rm uses dynamic linked libraries (instead of static), it could theoretically stop in execution upon reaching libc.so[.X] or any of it's dependant executables. assuming that one hits /usr/lib before /export/home, you might be in luck.
a better way to delete an entire disk would be to use dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 bs=1024k (assuming Solaris) which writes tons of zeros to your disks. -dre ""Evans, TJ"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Rm -rf ... > rm "remove" > > -r recursive > -f force > > all together --> same effect as a "deltree /y ."; namely - everything on HDD > is no longer present :). > FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html > Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=21892&t=21892 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
