I didn't try it but maybe something like (feel free to test/adapt/fix) but use it carefully
This method should fill the space with 4Gb files until the remaining space to fill to the wanted threshold is lower , then fill the remaining space with a last file so the threshold is reached
If you want to fill all the remaining space to the wanted threshold in one shot you can try
As previously mentionned i didn't test it so you can give a shot in test environment, but use it carefully.

note that if the remaining space is bigger than 2^32 you may have to ensure that you run a 64bit version of the dd command

Hi,
