Sorry for posting two messages to the list at the same time but...:)

I was just wondering whether or not:

su
md afolder
cd afolder
ln -s / root
cd ..
rm -rf afolder

would erase my entire filesystem?
As you may have guessed, I am not in a position to try this :)

I ask this because cp -r follows links, unless -d is used.
However, there isn't an equivalent option for rm.

So does rm follow links?

Thanks again,
pesarif
