How to corrupt a superblock?
The mounted device is a loopback one using lofiadm. Can dd command be used to get this condition?
Need help urgently.
Thanks in advance.

NAME
lofi - Loopback file driver
DESCRIPTION
The lofi file driver exports a file as a block device, enabling system utilities such as fstyp(1M), fsck(1M) and mount(1M) to operate on
underlying file system images (including CD-ROM and FAT floppy images) contained on the block device. Reads and writes to the block device
are translated to reads and writes on the exported file. See lofiadm(1M) for examples.
File block device entries are contained in /dev/lofi. The /dev/rlofi file contains the character (or raw) device entries. Entries are in
the form of decimal numbers and are assigned through lofiadm(1M). When created, these device entries are owned by root, in group sys
and have permissions of 0600. Ownership, group, and permission settings can be altered, however there may be ramifications. See lofiadm(1M)
for more information.
lofi devices can be compressed. See lofiadm(1M) for more information.
Files exported through lofi can also be encrypted. See lofiadm(1M) for details on how to specify encryption keys.

NOTES
Just as you would not directly access a disk device that has mounted file systems, you should not access a file associated with a block
device except through the lofi file driver.
For compatibility purposes, a raw device is also exported with the block device. (For example, newfs(1M)).
The lofi driver isn't available in a zone and will not work inside a zone.
