Okay, so there is a /dev/zero. Shouldn't there be a /dev/one, too? Is there any way that I can fill a file or device full of ones?
should be pretty easy. just negate the value
So how do I accomplish that?
And once I know how to accomplish that, can I actually work that in to a dd command?
If you want to fill a file full of ones and you know how many it can be done trivially with a shell script or command in several different ways. I'm not going to suggest one here as it'll be picked apart endlessly and I have a fragile ego ;)
There are various pieces of info we would need to accomplish it.. size of file.. purpose.. etc...
If you need help with that tho, just mail me offline.
