I was trying to cause my system to crash. So, I thought that I'd use up all
the available memory.
I wrote a simple 'C' program to malloc a 1 MB chunk, then write into it to
insure that the paged were allocated
while(1){
p = (char *) malloc(1024*1024);
*p = '1';
}
Very quickly, I get back a msg about "/: file system full"
What going on here?
