Hi, I just found out that
while touch /tmp/foo; do rm /tmp/foo; done causes a lot of disk activity. Further tests showed that the disk is activated for each rm. Is this a hard requirement? In Linux, the loop above does not cause any disk activity (except at the beginning and maybe at the end), it seems to be done completely in the cache.
