Reserving Space on Disk

[Mark DiVecchio]

An associate has an application where he wants to reserve 4Mb of disk
space.  The unix file system does not support this since opening the
file, seeking to 4Mb and writing one byte does not do the trick. 
Besides writing out 4Mb of filler, is there any other way to do this?
