Atomicity
Operations are "all or nothing."
Anything you write to /dev/null
disappears entirely. There's no partial write problem: it’s either written (and discarded) or not written at all. ✅
Consistency
The system transitions from one valid state to another.
/dev/null
always stays in a consistent state (empty). No matter what you write, the invariant "file contains nothing" always holds. ✅
Isolation
Concurrent transactions don’t interfere with each other.
Multiple processes can write to /dev/null
at the same time, and their outputs never conflict, because nothing is ever stored. ✅
Durability
Once a transaction is committed, it remains so, even after crashes.
/dev/null
"durably" commits your data into nothingness. After a crash or reboot, it still contains exactly what it always has: nothing. ✅
There is only 1 small problem though, it only comes with 0b of free storage. For more space, you will have to contact entreprise sales, which is actually just me!
