We use command for testing purpose on FS. I created a file name called "file.500mb" where i need size of 500MB.
Solaris :
# mkfile 500M file.500mb
# du -sh file.500mb
500M file.500mb
bash-3.00# ls -l file.500mb
-rw------T 1 root root 524288000 Feb 17 04:11 file.500mb
We can also do this in other way as below, which creates size of 512MB, we can change the counts/bs depend upon requirement. changing BS will make faster
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/file1g count=500 bs=1024k
500+0 records in
500+0 records out
bash-3.00# du -sh /file1g
500M /file1g
Linux :
Mkfile command will not work, instead we use "dd" command or /dev/urandom as below.
# head -c 1024m /dev/urandom > /fs1/file1g
# du -sh /fs1/file1g
1.1G /fs1/file1g
# cat /dev/urandom /fs1/filename after some times, do ctrl+c to kill,
[OR]
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/fs1/file1g count=500 bs=2048k
500+0 records in
500+0 records out
1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 26.3419 seconds, 39.8 MB/s
[root@linux1 admin]# du -sh /fs1/file1g
1001M /fs1/file1g
I written from my research and experience, the methods described here are worked for me, Hope this may help you. post your comments to motivate me
How to Veiw Solaris System Configuration Information
Several tools are available to examine system configuration information. Some tools require superuser privilege. Other tools can be run by a non-privileged user. Every structure and data item can be examined with the kernel debugger by using mdb on a running system or by booting under kmdb.
The sysdef command provides the values of System V IPC settings, STREAMS tunables, process resource limits, and portions of the tune and v structures. For example, the sysdef “Tunable Parameters” section from on Sun Fire 280R with 2GB RAM as below
* Tunable Parameters
42082304 maximum memory allowed in buffer cache (bufhwm)
30000 maximum number of processes (v.v_proc)
99 maximum global priority in sys class (MAXCLSYSPRI)
29995 maximum processes per user id (v.v_maxup)
30 auto update time limit in seconds (NAUTOUP)
25 page stealing low water mark (GPGSLO)
1 fsflush run rate (FSFLUSHR)
25 minimum resident memory for avoiding deadlock (MINARMEM)
25 minimum swapable memory for avoiding deadlock (MINASMEM)
