I like this one. Long-long ago it was one of the “tricky” questions at the UNIX
admin test (exam). Basically, no matter how devastating that may sound, the
command only will remove what is (alphabetically it was that time) before
/dev/[root_device]. Once the device root filesystem lives on is removed from
/dev, no further damage is done. So, you will be able to mount drive on another
machine and get your /etc, /home, /var, /usr/local intact ;-) Asking that
question other people gave me (an them usually) a lot of fun.
