Wilfully dirtying a filesystem

I have a system on which /usr is slightly hosed, but not badly enough
for it to fail a preen fsck.

I cannot easily get to single-user on this machine, so is there a good
way for me to dirty the filesystem just enough to force "fsck -p" to
fail (yanking power also difficult)?  "umount -f /usr; reboot" doesn't
seem to work...

That must be wonderful!  I don't understand it at all.
