decided to code the solution by myself.<br>I've needed a way to generate files with same contents (eg. 16k file<br>with 0xFF).<br>Now, doing it in shell with echo took quite sometime (approx 20 minutes)<br>for 16k file containing only 0xFFs on my slow embedded system. So I
<br>wrote small busybox applet and now I can generate 16k file in few ms;)<br><br>Here is the patch. I hope I didn't forget any bits, otherwise feel free<br>to request them!<br><br>If you think this could be useful please don't hesitate to include the
