That's why I always recommend having a big "buffer" of video content for such situations, ya know, for data integrity Good idea, for safety of course. Just for completeness sake I would add one should not rely on that especially if they are using XFS and especially if using a hardware raid controller. The recursive rm may complete faster than the inodes are removed due to the nature how XFS among a few other filesystems operate in the background. I doubt many are using hardware raid controllers on their workstations but if one is on a server there is a chance there may be one and those will also perform some transactions in the background and one may get their prompt back sooner than the inodes have actually been removed. This is all edge case off course. People should have a massive .pr0n folder regardless.
