It is not sensible to fill all the inodes on the root filesystem. Your system will probably crash and may never boot again.
Filling any system partition (including root) is not advisible and can damage data files.

Hi
I believe there is a method to remove all temporary files when a KSH script terminates (either expectedly or unexpectedly).
I think is some sort of subroutine you can create that runs when the script exits. Can anyone help me with this please?
Many thanks

fsirand
fsirand(1M) System Administration Commands fsirand(1M)
NAME
fsirand - install random inode generation numbers
SYNOPSIS
fsirand [-p] special
DESCRIPTION
fsirand installs random inode generation numbers on all the inodes on device special, and also installs a file system ID in the superblock.
This helps increase the security of file systems exported by NFS.
fsirand must be used only on an unmounted file system that has been checked with fsck(1M) The only exception is that it can be used on the
root file system in single-user mode, if the system is immediately re-booted afterwards.
OPTIONS
-p Print out the generation numbers for all the inodes, but do not change the generation numbers.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of fsirand when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
ATTRIBUTES
