rm -rf

[kinthelt]

So today, I thought it would be fun to try out the infamous Unix command: rm -rf /
Here's my result:
rm: cannot remove root directory `/'

So this got me thinking... What other ways could I pooch the data on my hard drive?

dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda

This seemed to do the trick. :)

Hm. When I tried running rf -rf / years ago on Debian, it recursively looked for anything I could deleted and proceeded to delete that.
