Try putting the data directory on a small partition and let it get filled 100% with a single update that does not get fully committed due to disk full, then turn the power off to the computer so there is no attempt for a nice shutdown. You should also get a corruption in the master binary logs, if binary logging is turned on.
If you use VMWare (vmware server is free) to virtualize a test OS with small drives, it will be easier to do this. -RG Richard Edward Horner wrote: > Hi, > > I'm working on a program that will run in the event that tables are > crashed or corrupt.
