SUMMARY
I stumbled upon this one, cackled when I saw it:
Making a file huge enough with `yes` command in bash, then compressing it with
tar, opening it with kate. I have 32 gigabyes of ram. I don't know what tmpfs
allocates by default.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. cd /tmpfs
2. yes meow > cat.md
3. # Runs out of space
4. tar czf ~/cat.tar cat.md
5. Go to Dolphin File manager, right click, open with kate.
6. See as the memory surpasses 15 GB in the tar, and instead fills up all the
memory, and if the system does not have pages, it hangs. Maybe it "thrashes"
but eh.
OBSERVED RESULT
Saw it hang
EXPECTED RESULT
Wanted to see some tar binary magic from the output... Maybe I should use the
'cat' command instead...
