You can also create a test file of a general size by using the command yes but wrapped with a test to ensure you size is correct.

see man yes

Code:
EXPECTED=10000
do
yes 111111111 > big_file.txt
SIZE=$(ll big_file.txt | awk '{print $2}')
until [ $SIZE = $EXPECTED ]

cant remember if file size is the second or third field off hand in a long listing. Change as appropriate. Also, didnt test this.

Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com> BUGS
The network synchronization between client and server instances is weak, and does not prevent incompatible options from being used on the two instances. The method used for retrieving work completions is not strictly correct, and race conditions may cause failures on some systems. libibverbs August 30, 2005 IBV_SRQ_PINGPONG(1)
