Re: redirection can create nul files - Was: rm hangs on illegal filename nul


Just FYI and for the archives:

Any ideas how to remove the nul files? Really, I don't want to
format my disk because of this.
You can fool NTFS into not doing reserve-word checking with:

DEL \\.\c:\somedir\nul

You propably have to use the correct quotes, or use cmd.exe,
like I did.
