FAT file system with a file named "/."
I've attached a FAT file system in which directory d/ contains a
file whose name is "/.". This causes rm -rf and find to be confused --
they follow "/." into the real root directory, doing something like
cd /mnt/d
ls
cd /.
...
So here's a way to rm -rf your root disk:
# mdconfig -f fat15a.img
# mount_msdosfs /dev/md0 /mnt
# rm -rf /mnt/d
This is arguably not what one would expect.
