I was finding a particular file whose location was known to me. So I used the console for searching the file. But it came out with an error saying “File system loop detected…”
When I checked it in the location specified in the error message, the root files where replicated in the said location as well.
So I created a “Test File.txt” in root folder (/test file.txt). And then went to the other location where I could find the same file also. Needless to say, when I deleted it in one location it deleted it from the other location as well.
So the contents of /* where the same as /.snapshots/1/snapshot/*
Please help me as to how to solve this system loop and also inform me if this loop might create problems if not solved.
Telling stories is a way to annotate the facts. But we need the facts. So: how did you search? Best is copy/past from your terminal window between CODE tags in a post. You get the CODE tags by clicking on the # button in the post editor. Please copy complete: prompt, command, output, next prompt. Only then we will see the same as you see and it will provide us with which user did what and from where and what the output was.

A word to the wise, remember not all users on the Forum’s first language is English, so sometimes things can get lost and misconstrued in both directions.
