FYI, GNU/Hurd also does have it:
#v+
address@hidden:~ $ ls -l /dev/full
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0, 0 2006-01-29 16:30 /dev/full
address@hidden:~ $ showtrans /dev/full
/hurd/null --full
address@hidden:~ $ /hurd/null --help | grep -- --full
-f, --full Cause writes to fail as if to a full disk
address@hidden:~ $ echo foo > /dev/full
-bash: echo: write error: No space left on device
foo
#v-
