Linux stuff generally doesn't crash if a file gets deleted. It'll just fail to boot.
Neither does window. A file deletion did not cause this. A human at Crowdstrike uploaded a bug to production. Bugs in production can happen on any OS, this is just a terrible, terrible look for Crowdstrike because they seriously messed up
I mean, the end result would be the same: Large tracts of infrastructure not loading and causing hell
Have you read anything about this? A file deletion is the workaround for affected hosts, silly!
?
I was just trying to point out that you implied a file deletion is what's causing this, and Linux wouldn't crash. This fault is fixed by deleting a file, ironically
