I have a ~70GB, of which the last ~50GB is garbage. I know exactly at what byte I want to cut the file, but I do not have enough free diskspace to do a
dd if=orig of=pre bs=... count=.... Is it possible to just chop off the end of a file, without making a copy of its beginning? It's a dv-file, resulting from "fwcontrol -R". I left my home and forgot about it. When I returned home, the disk was full, and now I need to delete the garbage. I know at exactly what byte to cut the stream.
