I'm interested in running the Linux version FlagShip (an xbase-style
database system) under FreeBSD-current, and I've run into a problem.

I managed to get it installed by mangling the install shell scripts and
`brand'ing some binaries, but when I try to run it it tells me that it "can
only be run under the Linux operating system".  Using kdump, I discovered
that it says this when it can't open "/dev/full".

Can anyone tell me what /dev/full is?  If I can get around that, it looks
like FlagShip should work.

I used mknod to create a /dev/full with the same major/minor as /dev/null,
but that failed also (with the same message), and none of the Linux systems
or books I have access to mention /dev/full.

Thanks...
