I agree with Tom on yanking the plug while it's operating. Do you
know the difference between kill -9 and yanking the plug?

Nice try. I've demanded nothing, quit twisting my words to fit your
argument. If you're going to test and call it conclusive, do some
conclusive testing or call it something else. But I suspect that since
you don't know the difference between yanking the plug and kill -9 this
conversation is a waste of time.
