You wouldn't be able to reboot the system in single user mode then would you?
(Unless you are local and your keymap allows ctrl-alt-d

type of file descriptor.
Requirements
- Ability to read & write C (specifically in the kernel)
- VFS/kernel internals (probably?)

ktrace is a good disk filling service if you run it like this.
