If you want hours of fun you should try create a directory called,
say, PRN, or CON, or any of a list of reserved device names. We've had
Mac users do this to exported Windoze filesystems in the past, and be
surprised to learn later that the whole subtree was excluded from
backups.

Don't know if this is still a problem. We saw it a couple of years
ago.
