I mounted a dos disk copied over a big file in the background and then went to bash and tried to do file completion on the file before it was done copying. This managed to lock up the floppy disk permantely, plus hang any related things like running "mount" or "df" or "ls /" the system still was able to run but the root did not get unmounted properly on shutdown and had to be fixed after reboot.
