I've got a 2G bochs disk image for Debian (really a 250M holey file) I can copy and throw away. A `rm -rfv *` as root from / does: (removes a bunch of files, including "rm" from bin and so forth), then loop= s printing: removing all entries of directory `dev/pts' removing the directory itself `dev/pts' removing all entries of directory `dev/pts' removing the directory itself `dev/pts' removing all entries of directory `dev/pts' removing the directory itself `dev/pts' removing all entries of directory `dev/pts' removing the directory itself `dev/pts' removing all entries of directory `dev/pts' removing the directory itself `dev/pts' It's apparently having issues with removing the mount point of the devpts filesystem. :) -Eric=20 --=20 ------------------------------------------------------------ Eric H.
