To do this, you can run: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1048576 count=<size> of=<file> If you set COSS to write direct to a block device, you need to make sure that the cache user has write permissions on the block device. The COSS_MEMBUF_SZ does not get set on a per-device basis. The magic number you need to be aware of is the block-size, which limits the size of the cache. The valid numbers are: block-size=512 - 8GB Max cache_dir size block-size=1024 - 16GB Max cache_dir size block-size=2048 - 32GB Max cache_dir size block-size=4096 - 64GB Max cache_dir size block-size=8192 - 128GB Max cache_dir size Steven
