full — always full device
If your system does not have /dev/full created already, it can be
created with the following commands:
mknod −m 666 /dev/full c 1 7 chown root:root /dev/full
The file /dev/full has major
device number 1 and minor device number 7.
Writes to the /dev/full
device fail with an ENOSPC
error. This can be used to test how a program handles
disk-full errors.
Reads from the /dev/full
device will return \0 characters.
Seeks on /dev/full will
always succeed.
