i’ve been a macbro for 8 years but i just got into linux, what…two days ago? so i don’t know any of the lingo. but i just googled strace,looks like it’s good for debugging shit. neat! i try to do as much as i can from the terminal as possible
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.
didn’t let me remove root. i ran the command with
sudoand it just kept saying “can’t remove root”. i’m using UTM on macOS tahoeyou can maybe use strace to find where this text is coming from, btw.

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
