> My "favorite" is the inability to delete a file that is open by another process
Because of this Linux "feature" I experienced data loss - I zipped a file and deleted it, but the process which created it was still writing to it. But all the data that it wrote now ended up in the void since the file didn't exist anymore. And there was no error/warning that the process was writing to a non-linked file, so I discovered the data loss much later.
