comando fallocate() equivalente in OS X?

Che ne dici di usare:

mkfile -n 1m test.tmp

Non è lo stesso comando ma ha lo stesso scopo.

Nota che fallocate utilizza moltiplicatori decimali, mentre mkfile utilizza moltiplicatori binari.

mkfile man

Per coloro che desiderano creare file di dati falsi per i test, mkfile è piuttosto elegante. Un'alternativa è usare dd :

dd if=/dev/zero of=zfile count=1024 bs=1024

Come puoi vedere con od -b zfile , è pieno di zeri. Se vuoi dati casuali (che potresti volere per testare i flussi di lavoro con la compressione dei dati, ad esempio), usa "/dev/random" al posto di "/dev/zero":

dd if=/dev/random of=randfile count=1024 bs=1024

fallocate() non esiste su OSX. Puoi "fingere" però; Mozilla lo finge nella loro classe FileUtils. Guarda questo file:
