hi,
I saw this on another *nix mailing list and got curious. It is a series of
commands that tends to corrupt? the filesystem via file table exhaustion.
The original post was:
while (1)
mkdir t && cd t
a few modifications, it's now:
#!/bin/sh
while [ x != 1 ]
do
mkdir t && cd t
done
My question is: will this corrupt the filesystem (beyond recovery), crash the
system, or just do nothing? is it fs dependent? or limits can be imposed?
I'm currently testing it on a 500MB ext3 part.
Thanks.
