One of the methods I used to test ext3 was just that... I removed the battery,
plugged the laptop into a local outlet... booted it and started a number of
various processes... when things looked real good and busy, I pulled the
plug... BAM! Dead.... Plug it back into the outlet and reboot... The
filesystem check would take like a second or two and It's back in business.
I have yet to get a corrupted ext3 partition, even when doing that non-sense.
I tried that exactly once with xfs... Upon boot up it was hosed beyond
recovery...
