So I set up a cloud instance (20GB disk, 512MB RAM) and tried this.<p><pre><code>    $ find
    .
    Killed
    $ ls
    ls: Memory exhausted
</code></pre>
but indeed, cd&#x27;ing up a level and rm-rf&#x27;ing the directory full of files seems to succeed--my &#x27;strace rm -rf&#x27; is busy spewing unlinkat() syscalls right now.
