No not my computer, me. I’ve managed to pickup an acute coryza virus. It causes /dev/random to constantly pass data to /Volumes/nose. I don’t think I got this from reading email, but I’m pretty sure it was a windows user who passed it to me.

If I flush my partitions to disk every now and then I can get by with a clean /Volumes/nose for a while before /dev/random starts clogging it up again.
