Thanks Ric Wheeler. Just looked into hdparm, it has nice option to
corrupt sectors but I need to manipulate disk-entries also (like
add invalid nlink value in an inode structure etc).

Thanks Andreas. I was going the script, liked idea to create file system
image based on random files. It has minimal option as now of. Will look
into fsfuzzer.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was assigned with a task of creating a
framework to corrupt disk-layout on an existing FreeBSD based closed source
file system. We have e2fsck like integrity checker, but corrupting disk script
needs to be added. Thanks!
