I've had this happen twice after locking up in X, and had no other choice
but to switch off the power.

Subject: I _WANT_ to damage my file system
I want to damage my file system. Not irreparably, but bad enough such that
it doesn't automatically get fixed when the system is starting up. I know
there's a level of damage where it stops and makes you run fsck yourself
and that's what I need to do.
Why?
I'm writing some documentation for some of my customers which describes
how to use fsck and I want to go through the motions so I can write an
accurate list of steps. The "problem" is my Linux system is stable and I
haven't seen or done this procedure since a power failure happened a year
ago.
I really don't want to clobber my system, just go through the motions of
putting it back together. I do have a spare machine I can use on which
nothing/nobody depends. I can clobber it if needed.
