Thanks Damir, Nathan, and David... I was doing if=/dev/random (forgot all about /dev/zero), and it was taking a very long time to get even near 100M, so I thought there would be a better way. Using /dev/zero helped a lot... and I could use tr to change them to 1s (created two versions... but I think both would be approximately the same speed).
Thanks again. > dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/yourfile bs=1m count=100 > dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m count=100 |tr "\0" "1" > /tmp/yourfile -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
