Like wise... There seems to be missing a /dev/one. Could it be obtained by exoring /dev/zero?

But, you know, there are people providing cloud-based dev-null-as-a-service at affordable prices. For example you can send them 100GB per month for just $25. https://devnull-as-a-service.com/pricing/ (I hope everybody in this mailing list is able to detect the above is said as a joke...) Anyway, of course mistyping /dev/null can fill the disk containing the "dev" directory, but if you really want to see sudden random failures in any software, you should try replacing /dev/null with a normal file. This happened to me once because of a stupid installer of a very well known commercial product. Then, if the permissions are not open to "others", somebody using /dev/null will fail at reading or writing. And if the permissions are instead open, the process reading from /dev/null will actually read something that another process was intending to discard. Spectacular confusion.
