If I understand what you're trying to do, you can do it with: dd if=/dev/zero of=/file/to/create bs=<whatever> count=<whatever> bs is block size to use, count is number of blocks. If you're writing to a file the block size can be anything, it's mainly important when you're reading or writing a tape or something and need to maintain the right block size for I/O. -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
