I know of a method to continously execute a command, maybe doing a

not sure about the error checking part. Here is what I would do:

The directory liting will be cached, after the first run the disk should
not be touched any more (try it out...). Also, when you're not
redirecting the output to somewhere else (e.g. /dev/null), the terminal
displaying the output will be the bottleneck and not the fs or the disk...
A colleague of mine reported he got ext3 to bail out while repeatedly
recompiling the kernel. He enabled all kernel modules, and then ran:
# while true; do make clean; make -j18; done
The filesystem ended up being mounted ro. The fsck at reboot moved some
files to lost+found, after which the filesystem could be used again.
Kind regards,
