Hi,
trying to delete a directory structure with -r --one-file-system doesn't
work, since it complains about subdirectories being on a different
device, which isn't true.
Simple example:
$ mkdir -p foo/bar
$ rm -r --one-file-system foo
rm: skipping `foo/bar', since it's on a different device
$ rm -r --one-file-system foo/bar/
$ rm -r --one-file-system foo/
Leaving out --one-file-system works as expected.
This is with coreutils 8.1 on Debian unstable.
Oops. This should fix it and will be in the soon to be released 8.3
I'll add a test and commit today after doing a few more checks.
