- wmf 10y agoI think that just hangs the whole machine, which is no worse than what happens when the OS does not handle uncorrectable errors.
- sqeaky 10y agoI think we would actually be in undefined behavior's territory. If that demon is kind the machine hangs, if not it could start sending and endless stream of gibberish down the SATA bus.
