: It's interesting, and perhaps a little scary, to notice how the file server
: deals with the worm when it gets full.  I've noticed that it will return
: a diagnostic to the user (``file system full'') and continue working okay
: for a few seconds after that, but then freeze; even a ``halt'' on the
: console is ineffective.  Yikes!

In any case, is this supposed to be the fs behaviour when it gets full?
I thought it would at least allow you to somehow copy the the (ide) worm into a 
bigger one. 

Let us know how it goes. I have an ide pseudo worm too and would like to know
what will happen when it gets full...
