Fun fact, rm -rf /* does not need --no-preserve-root. It will happily start as technically, according to the preserve root check, /* is not root as the target is not /
It’s slightly different. Your shell will see the
/*and replace it with all the directories under /, e.g./bin /dev /etc /homeetc. So the actual command that runs isrm -rf /bin /dev /etc /homeetc.
