Destructive fun with Linux
I've just rebuilt the server at home, and I was wondering how much fun you can have trashing a Linux system.
As root, try this:
> cd /
> rm -rf *
Has anyone managed to wipe out the entire filesystem (best set the immutable flag on rm) and still keep the system running?
I managed to wipe out 98% (I'm guessing, but there wasn't much left) of the system before I accidentally wiped the rm command.
Anyone else got some fun (destructive) commands no-one should ever try on a production system?
How about echoing /dev/random into the swap partition on a running system? Or dd'ing random data to /dev/hda? Any other ideas?
