hi,

I need to create a big file (20GB), the contents is not important, will fill that in later, just the file size... When I try to do this with lseek and then write one byte. as soon I close the file, it takes a few minutes because it looks like the OS is filling up the rest with 0x00 bytes during close or flush. File system is HFS+

Any trick on how to prevent this from happening?

regars,

marc
