from several years experience with PC hardware, my experience is that
power cycling 3 or 4 times once is not likely to hurt anything. YMMV
according to manufacturer (though even pac hells, compaqs and that el
cheeso compusa acer clone hold up to this). I wouldn't do it on a regular
basis, but once for testing purposes is probably not a risk...when we say
power cycling, we don't mean for (x=1,6,x++) { hit power button } ... it
wouldn't do any good anyway. it's more like for x=1,6,x++ { hit power
button, let spindown/boot to drive mount (even or odd) hit power button)
though it just occured to me, that you'd have to force it not to fsck
after the first boot, or else you wouldn't get the intended purpose
anyway.
blah.
