I don't think I've ever filled the partition - This is what df under linux shows me for it: Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/hda2 3044019 2547456 339126 88% / /dev/hda4 878478 567372 265723 68% /gnu /dev/hda1 2100360 1788172 312188 85% /mnt/fat32-cdrive where /gnu is the hurd partition. Do you want me to fill it, and see if it takes out the system? Would a loop creating 10 byte files work? I've tried a couple times to get my Linux partition mounted, but I've never succesfully convinced it to do so - So I've never tried *really* stressing the size limit.
