Talk:How-To Create 10 GB file instantly with "dd"

From openSUSE

Correct me if i'm wrong, but this part makes no 10 GB!

dd if=/dev/zero of=myharddisk.img bs=1000 count=0 seek=$[1000*1000*10]

Correct:

dd if=/dev/zero of=myharddisk.img bs=1024 count=0 seek=$[1024*1024*10]

sorry, why would we want to do this again? Modnar 16:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
