Trying to write a program to fill up my harddrive (Linux/C)

Hi guys, I'm trying to write a little program that will fill up my harddrive and will log the process during this.

Now I've come up with this:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void main(void) {
    char cmd1[100];
    char cmd2[100];

    int i=1;
    sprintf(cmd2, "df -h");

while (i<=5)
{ 
    system("dd if=/dev/zero of=/pagefile-%i bs=1024 count=100000", i);
    system(cmd2);
i++;
}

}

But for some reason it only copies the file I make once and then just keeps overwriting it. I tried adding a variable so it would change the name and not overwrite the previous file but it still doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

(sorry if this is the worst programming you've ever seen)
Big thanks!
