Of course, you may have just been lucky. Under different circumstances or configurations it could very easily hang or crash your filer. Don't try this at home, folks (well, at least not until it's supported).
Yes, definitely do not try this on a filer with real data on it. I had the opportunity to play with a handful of units before we pressed them into production, and I sleep much better knowing how the filers react to adverse conditions.
BTW, could someone at Netapp tell us what exactly is done during their pre-ship burn-in testing?
