It's a good post, but heavily OS dependant. For example, on my Mac: $ ls /dev/null /dev/full ls: /dev/full: No such file or directory /dev/null I guess

It's a good post, but heavily OS dependant. For example, on my Mac: $ ls /dev/null /dev/full ls: /dev/full: No such file or directory /dev/null I guess in theory, you can imitate `/dev/full` by other means.

>Linux has this fun device file called "/dev/full" Yes it is. And it specifies the OS as well.

  NetBSD and FreeBSD have /dev/full as well.

    And all OS can have disks that are full as well.

I can't test this and the original blog post seems to be missing, but someone has a Github gist where they create a full ramdisk on OSX: https://gist.github.com/koral--/12a6cdda22ffbd82f28ecc93e0b5bcb8 https://gist.github.com/koral--/12a6cdda22ffbd82f28ecc93e0b5...
