Hm, we need a regular file, not a device. Yes, the nop device can be
mounted and can contain regular files, but having an fs mounted where
every operation is fallible seems to be too much of this goodness :)

I guess I will hack some existing fs code, as Robert Watson suggested.

Thanks for the idea, I didn't know of this utility.
