qwertyThank you AI, very cool
-> @Certainly a failure but at least it wouldn’t actually be as harmful as it reads, given / is a directory and the assumption you’re not root.
Yeah, I’m actually kinda curious to see what it would do, since the command is pretty nonsensical. Probably just an immediate failure along the lines of “/ is a directory”?
given / is a directory
Can it not be a directory? How?
Given the Linux initramfs targets a block device as a file that then gets mounted as the persistent root filesystem, I don’t think it would really be possible to unmount / and replace the location with a file. Root isn’t represented as a file or directory in any filesystem structure and is a construct of many Unix and Unix-like kernels.
