Under GNU cp, at least, you can. I've done it once, and I filled the
whole rootdisk I created with inodes. Of course, except of inodes, it
doesn't take anything, but when you have thoursands of devices... 1440K
is not too much.
BTW I wanna know one thing: if a user copies a device to his directory,
will he really own the device? (can't test it now, I'm under bloody
MS-DOS).
Good bloody bye and Happy bloody Sukkot,
Vadik.
P.S. Marc, the thing I don't like in Linux is that it has too much
non-standard things. It seems you were on SGI or something when you
tested this stuff. Does only GNU cp has -dp switches?
Stay cool.
