What happened to /dev/null?

BTW: most of these messages can actually occur on a Linux system if you mess up /dev/null the right way. For example "/dev/null: Read-only file system" happens during boot if /dev/null was deleted and replaced by a regular file writable to everyone.

But I don't want to know who is insane enough to put /dev/null on NFS.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

that's not how it'd look on a UNIX system...

BTW, I was thinking of also adding "too many levels of symbolic links" :P

Poof! Failed assumption :P


Also, there was no consulting when it was created either.
Meh.
