Mounted a WebDAV folder from a storage host, thinking "Hey, I can just copy my Google Photos from the Takeout archives into the folder that way."
I rarely work with DAV but assumed that it would let me know if it dropped the remote connection.
Nope. Lost the connection only a couple GB in but nothing TELLS me. It just carries on copying spontaneously to local path, and I start getting alerts that my root filesystem is filling up.
@olav it felt like my machine was so proud of itself, carrying on happily with writing like there was never a mounted filesystem there.
Like it was a golden retriever that was interrupted while ripping a couch to pieces. Looks at you with big eyes, tail wagging "LOOK WHAT I DID! I KILLED IT! CAN I HAVE A COOKIE?"
