I know two sysadmins do did this, as root, in the root directory.
Not pretty. One managed to kill the process in time to save the
data directories.
rm just removes the inode information, right? The data is still
there; there are un*x tools to rebuild that; isn't there one built
for OS X?
I don't think I'm totally off base, but my unix skills are only those
that I've had to gain thru immediate need :) Last time I had to hack
my way thru a filesystem at low-level was in the time of MFM drives.
Although I've recently forced my NetBSD box to remap bad spots that
weren't getting SMARTed out for some reason.
