Ok, I couldn't help but try it. I've got a 2G bochs disk image for Debian (really a 250M holey file) I can copy and throw away.
A `rm -rfv *` as root from / does:
(removes a bunch of files, including "rm" from bin and so forth), then loops printing: removing all entries of directory `dev/pts' removing the directory itself `dev/pts' removing all entries of directory `dev/pts' removing the directory itself `dev/pts' removing all entries of directory `dev/pts' removing the directory itself `dev/pts' removing all entries of directory `dev/pts' removing the directory itself `dev/pts' removing all entries of directory `dev/pts' removing the directory itself `dev/pts'
It's apparently having issues with removing the mount point of the devpts filesystem.
