Sorry, but this does not seem to work for me:

    hades!root# uname -a
    FreeBSD hades.hell.gr 4.3-STABLE FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #0: Wed May 30 01:28:12 EEST 2001     root@hades.hell.gr:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NEWTON  i386
    hades!root# truncate -s 16383G big
    truncate: big: File too large

Perhaps its because my / filesystem is not big enough to hold such a file?

    hades!root# df
