Heh. I once wrote a program that made 1K files until it ran out of disk
space. It took the 386DX-40 about two days to run out of inodes. The
purpose was to find some rather elusive IDE bad sectors. I soon tired of
such attempts, as I spent two days writing and another two rm'ing the
mess. newfs helped, but I had other bad sectors to deal with. I soon
removed that hard drive. I think I smashed somewhere. I was once given a
whole pile of 40 MB and 80 MB SCSI drives (3.5"). I broke a few but the
novelty wore off. It's tiring work destroying hard drives.
