title: How to create a file with ANY given size in Linux?
body: <p>I have read this question:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/139261/how-to-create-a-file-with-a-given-size-in-linux">How to create a file with a given size in Linux?</a></p>
  
  <p>But I havent got answer to my question.</p>
  
  <p>I want to create a file of 372.07 MB,</p>
  
  <p>I tried the following commands in Ubuntu 10.08:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dd if=/dev/zero of=output.dat  bs=390143672  count=1
  dd: memory exhausted
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>390143672=372.07*1024*1024</p>
  
  <p>Is there any other methods?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot!</p>
  
  <p>Edit:
  How to view a file's size on Linux command line with decimal. I mean, the command line <code>ls -hl</code> just says: '373M' but the file is actually "372.07M".</p>
