Is it expected that truncate(8) must be used by a superuser? If so, then the man page should probably mention it. If not, then it's broken :)

Works for me:

$ truncate -s 100g 100g $ ls -l 100g -rw-r--r-- 1 maxim maxim 107374182400 May 30 20:11 100g $ id uid=1001(maxim) gid=1001(maxim) groups=1001(maxim), 0(wheel), 5(operator), 68(dialer)
