Hi all...
I am new to this list. Excuse me if the question
is somehow off-topic. I know you're all busy, so
I'll try not to disturb you much.
I am trying to design several tests to run with
different file systems for a linux gazette article.
Since all of them are journal file systems,
I would like to measure the time to recover for
each file system once a crash occurs.
My question is the following:
is there anyway (from user space) to crash a
partition, I mean unmount it uncleanly as it
happens when you power off the computer without
unmounting. I would like to unmount uncleanly just
the partition I choose, in order not to crash the
root partition too.
If not, is it possible to do that writing a
user app?...not hacking the modules code...
because I need the buffers not to be flushed to
disk.
Suggestions and ideas for tests are welcome.
Thanx in advance.
