    Joke’s on you, user has virtualized windows ME.

    But on a serious note, doesn’t that simply kill the virtual machine with a useless amount of load? What is different on MacOS? As in: couldn’t I do the same with any virtual machine independently of the host OS?

    Not familiar with MacOS at all but I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple just doesn’t respect the VM and has some “safeguard” intervention mechanic…

          if it just says that and doesn’t do anything, there’s some extra safety added, maybe in sudo or the shell.

          otherwise, it can’t remove “/”, because it’s a mount point in use. the point is that the recursive switch removes all subdirs, which are not mount points, leaving just empty disks an a handful dirs behind.

            after i ran it, none of my commands worked. well of course they didn’t work, everything but root got wiped, so goodbye /usr/bin and all that
