Hi Chris,
I'm actually just needing to create files of various sizes, not to be used in Xen tho.
More for testing I/O chars of various thing.

Hi Les,
Yes, I do run dd to create Xen image files but was hoping to use a more elegant solution.
Looks like I'll continue with dd but if any one else has some secrets, please share.
qemu-img create -f <fmt> <imagefile> [size] is more elegant :)
Or even more fancy use virt-install to do everything in one command line to set up virtual machines.
