how to Corrup ext3 paration
hi guys,

I am testing some embedded device.. In which there were a bug due to the corruption of the ext3 partition. ( if the partition was currapated all system was crashing )

Now developers are mounting that particular partition to check whether it is corrupted or not and taking other actions according to that...

Now I need to reproduce the bug to confirm that it has been solved....

My problem is. is there any way we can corrupt the ext3 partition ??
