How to intentionally corrupt my file system or crash its driver?

I am doing a research that involves **intentionally** corrupting my file system. I shouldn't be able to read or write anything to the file system after that. Therefore I am ok with crashing the drivers to the filesystem instead of corrupting the file system. Also, I am ok with my kernel freezing with it. Is there a set of operations, a standard way or a specific program that I can use to achieve this? It would be great if I can replicate the method in a non Linux environment as well (in GNU Hurd). Thanks in advance.
