If there were statistics on corrupted Firebird databases, I believe more than 80% of them would have something in common: they were running with forced-writes off.
Since Firebird 2.1 forced-writes also work in linux. With that in mind I put together a comparison between the two modes.
What are forced-writes and when to use them?
I hope DBAs who like to live dangerously find this useful.

By querying special system tables starting with MON$, you get a snapshot of the current activities in your database like who is connected to your database, which transactions and statements are running and so on. You even can cancel a running query by executing a DELETE statement on MON$STATEMENTS. Firebird 2.5 will also allow you to cancel an entire attachment via a DELETE on MON$ATTACHMENTS.
