Synopsis: #rm -f when executed on a read-only partition does not suppress the diagnostic message "# rm -f README rm: README: Read-only file system". State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: vs State-Changed-When: Tue Jul 20 08:13:31 GMT 2004 State-Changed-Why: This is a feature. From the man-page: "-f [...] If the file does not exist, do not display a diagnostic message or modify the exit status to reflect an error. ...the -f option only masks attempts to remove non-existent files instead of mask- ing a large variety of errors."
