Inspired by my earlier accidental discovery that a FreeNAS 11.2 ISO written to a USB drive with Rufus will cause Windows 7 to BSOD, I got to wondering how well modern operating systems handle malformed filesystems. Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD all fail.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3MeifE2oFw …

I've given enough time for the linux folks to make a change to this behavior if they wanted. If you wish to test your systems for how they handle EXT2 filesystems that opt in to panic your OS, you can test out a "dd" disk image of such a filesystem here:https://github.com/wdormann/panic_fs …

Windows- and MacOS-crashing filesystem images added as well. They're not patched either, but I figure that over 9 months should have been enough time.https://github.com/wdormann/panic_fs …
