Special Forums Hardware Filesystems, Disks and Memory Create file for space Reserve Post 302388944 by tlarkin on Friday 22nd of January 2010 01:54:33 AM

the find command, du, and other command line tools can monitor space. I am not sure if filling up your HD with dummy files to take up space only to delete them later on is a good practice. Seems like a lot of work for something that can be accomplished in a better way.

What are your exact concerns?
