Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD all fail.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3MeifE2oFw …

And even operating systems like OpenBSD are not immune to filesystem-corruption-induced panics. I have to wonder, however, how many people would set up an OpenBSD system to do automount? https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20131113030229 …pic.twitter.com/iJojqSNZmF
