Too straight forward Jim Smilie I want that last fs block even if the fs has a silly 2 byte block size Smilie

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/vfs.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

#define MAX_PHYSIO 128		/* size of phsyical io in blocks */

char *outbuf; 

struct statfs vbuf;

int  main() {

int tickle = 5;  /* how often to print progress based on number of writes  */
int count = 0;
int fd;
long outsize;
int j;

/* create the file */

if( (fd = open("fill.all", O_CREAT | O_WRONLY)) < 0 )
{
	perror("fill.all: ");
	exit(fd);
}

/* get filesystem info */

fstatfs( fd, &vbuf);

outsize = vbuf.f_bsize * MAX_PHYSIO;		/* calculate output size */
outbuf = (char *) malloc(outsize);		/* allocate the buffer */
printf("Free blocks: %d\nOutput Buffer size: %d\n", vbuf.f_bfree, outsize);

j = tickle ;  

while( write(fd, outbuf, outsize) > 0 )
{
	if ( j == 0)
	{
		fstatfs(fd ,&vbuf);
		printf("Blocks left: %d\n", vbuf.f_bfree);
		j = tickle;
	}
	else
		j--;
}

fstatfs( fd, &vbuf);

if (vbuf.f_bfree > 0)
	write(fd, outbuf, vbuf.f_bfree);

printf("done\n");
}

For extra fun you can add an fsync() call after the last write call. Could lock up your system for a bit ... depending on your RAID type and implementation Smilie
