USE THE DD COMMAND TO CREATE EMPTY TWO EMPTY FILES, OF 1GB EACH, IN A DIRECTORY OF YOUR CHOICE

1. Linux:

Use the dd command to create empty two empty files, of 1GB each, in a

directory of your choice. For example,

dd if=/dev/zero of=/u01/app/oracle/raw1.disk bs=1024 count=1000000dd if=/dev/zero of=/u01/app/oracle/raw2.disk bs=1024 count=1000000

The files raw1.disk and raw2.disk will consist of one million blocks, each

containing 1KB of nothing.
