In order to cause the failure, is significant disk activity required? IF so, of what sort? I can easily set up a diskless box to create file systems of that ratio and spin booting and using the filesystem, if you can point me a little in the right direction? Does it require only reading, or also writing to the filesystem? I have little if any FFS-internals clue, but would be happy to give it a spin (both figuratively and literally).
