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. ----- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR | TGIFreeBSD...
