https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D214981 --- Comment #6 from Vladimir Krstulja <vlad-fbsd@acheronmedia.com> --- Except you can't rm -rf / . Why is it that you can't rm -rf /, but you can remount it with a random dataset that becomes available, with no questions asked, and no warnings given? And it's simply not comparable. Running rm -rf is a deliberate, explicit action. Unlocking a geli provider and getting your root remounted is nowhere near that. I'm sorry, but I don't accept that. Plus, nothing would remove the power and flexibility of ZFS if it required confirmation or a --force flag, for such destructive actions. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
