CaT <cat@zip.com.au> suggested /dev/ones, which sounds as good a suggestion as any to me.
The big question, however, is thus: where in the kernel tree does the code for /dev/zero live? I had a look through some obvious files, and grepped through most of the rest. I had assumed it would be in the character mode device drivers, but unless I'm blind (a distinct possibility) it doesn't seem to be there.
Obviously, I'm not a kernel hacker -- but cloning /dev/zero to /dev/ones sounds like it might be an ideal first kernel project. :)
