That's... extremely unlikely.

You haven't mentioned how many files we're talking about here, but, assuming "a lot", I imagine there could be a crash or a deadlock or an OOM (after all, this is an extremely niche feature that had to fight really really hard to even get in, as none of the maintainers will ever use it), but *killing* a device? Eeeeh.

Having recently done something dumb to a Sage to cause an OOM, I can attest that it gets very finicky, but it *will* ultimately hard poweroff and then power back on again properly.

If you've got the frontlight on, that's a pretty good indication of when a long-long-power-press took for the hard-poweroff.

At which point, let it sit for a short bit, and then power it back on again. That initial bootup may be wonkier or longer than usual (e.g., no boot animation).

(If it's in a PowerCover, take it out of it, that thing's a mess that horribly breaks PM in fun and interesting ways).
