No problem! Here is the solution: filespam
filespam is a small perl script which gives you the possibility of creating many empty files at once in a directory you specify. The file names are random. Here an example:
ap0calypse@shu:/tmp> filespam -n 20 -d /tmp/testdir/
20 spam-files created in /tmp/testdir/
ap0calypse@shu:/tmp> ls -l /tmp/testdir/
total 0

As you can see it creates files with special characters in it. If anyone doesn’t like this, change the source code.
