rm -rf /

November 6th, 2004

Didn’t mention it, but on wednesday I had an accident with rm

I’ve lost /bin, /boot and some /etc(minor), ah and links in /dev

right now i think that /dev, /boot are completely rebuild, but I’m worried about my /etc

I don’t want to halt or reboot system , it’s running with config from time before rm , so it is useable

remember, never reboot a system , which lost its config files, and/or basic functionality ( like programmes from /bin )

ah , and i’ve used mc, and irb to manipuled the system without functional *sh :)

right now, i’m thinking about a wrapper for rm to catch all rm -rf /

hint, linux, ugly
