Let's test that:

1. Nothing stored in /dev/null is durable. 2. Nothing is stored in /dev/null. 3. Ergo, /dev/null exhibits durability.

Thank you, I'll take my check at the door.



You are missing the part where the data did exist and that after something/someone sent it to /dev/null, the data was gone. Therefore, the data did not endure. The Durability test of ACID failed for /dev/null.
