Then why have the option for 'rm'?
There is no such option for 'rm'. The --one-file-system
option is a different option; it doesn't have the behavior
mentioned above.
Right...but I'm not using the behavior described above, I'm
using the wildcard option rm **
In the same way...ahhh....so when I asked for code for rm -fr . I didn't
included the code:
Priv->run([$Rm, "--one-file-system", "-fr", "."]);
rm -rf * .[!.] .??*
If I understand you correctly, rm --one-file-system -fr * .[1.] .??* isn't
going to stay on one file system.
So is that a bug in rm or in shell?
or how do I remove all the files in /tmp, but not have it descend into any file
systems mounted in tmp?
Cuz if rmdir using wildcards won't work with --one-file-system, I'm
guessing it won't work in 'rm' either.
