NAME

       full - always full device

CONFIGURATION

       If  your  system  does  not  have  /dev/full  created  already, it can be created with the
       following commands:

               mknod -m 666 /dev/full c 1 7
               chown root:root /dev/full

DESCRIPTION

       File /dev/full has major device number 1 and minor device number 7.

       Writes to the /dev/full device will fail with an ENOSPC error.  This can be used  to  test
       how a program handles disk-full errors.

       Reads from the /dev/full device will return \0 characters.

       Seeks on /dev/full will always succeed.

FILES
