Depends on your fs, some fs's will allow you to create much larger files that others:
cw@pain:~$ truncate -c -s100t big-file cw@pain:~$ ls -lh big-file -rw-r--r-- 1 cw cw 100T Mar 3 02:05 big-file
Note, you might need a 64-bit system to be able to write to all of that because the index into the buffer-cache is an unsigned long. For me on my notebook I can't write past 8T.
