Re: Odd Filesystem Behavior

oh something else:

prometheus# ls -la
total 3
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512 Mar 25 10:37 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512 Mar 25 10:14 ..
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Mar  2 16:03 empty
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    6 Mar 25 10:37 symlink -> empty/
prometheus# rm symlink/
rm: symlink/: is a directory
prometheus# rm -rf symlink/
recursively remove symlink/? y
rm: symlink/: Operation not permitted
prometheus# rm symlink
prometheus# ls -la
total 3
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512 Mar 25 10:37 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512 Mar 25 10:14 ..
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Mar  2 16:03 empty
prometheus#

I think if i specify the / at the end of symlink it will actually
delete(or try to in this case) all sub folders if it can.  Is that
normal? and if it is, should that be the desired behavior, if its a ln
-s link shouldnt it only delete the link rather than the contents of
what its linking to?
