Why do you have to pass --no-preserve-root ?
--no-preserve-root
Try it with that flag and find out
>>107075973Because otherwise it will preserve root, duh.
>>107076099Also, to add to this, it won't work in a VM like OP's pic, has to be real hardware.
>>107076389> Tostie manual: "This toaster will make you a delicious toast!" > Joe with three PhD and college degree: "can you explain then to me, what will happen if I will not use it? Will my wife still love me or my electric grid will catch itself on fire?" Average people are so fucking incapable of perception of any text information
>>107075973same reason why "rm -r .*" doesn't glob into ".." and delete the parent directory as well
>>107076389>>107076099>>107076522>>107076716but when did they cuck rm and make you use the flag to kill your root drive?
>>107076716".." is not actually contained within "." though so that makes sense. ".." is an alias for "the path above the current one". it's like /proc/self
>>107076848Use case for killing your root drive with rm?
>>107076986The same use case as telling someone to delete system32 or to press Alt+F4 to dupe their SoJ after they drop it in town
>>107075973Why I don't for /* ?
>>107078161Learn what globbing actually does
>>107075973it wasn't always there. it is in fact a relatively new addition.some historical background (shit, i'm old enough to have lived through "historical" shit):https://web.archive.org/web/20090907232425/http://ubuntard.com/2009/09/the-many-breeds-of-ubuntards/it was basically added to protect noobs against malicious helpers and the then new wave of retarded "Mr. Mainstream" types.i wonder if the author of that blog is still around. and if he is, how he would be handling all the poser /g/eets. or worse, the non-poser /g/eets.
>>107078017you literally can't delete system32 even as admin with recent windows versions because you need SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller permission
>>107076986who told you use cases are a metric?
>>107075973to break decades worth of perfectly good tutorials out on the internet
>>107075973because of le epic troll owns. anyway you can just do /* instead of / to bypass the check, you dont need the flag
