Did you think to read the manual? CREATE-FILE, jstat, jrf?

You don;t say what OS or file type, so we must assume that the group 
size is 4096, minus some for overhead, call it 4000 bytes. You don't say 
what the record sizes are so nothing to go on there, just 20mb, but I 
assume you means 20MB

20MB/4000B = 20971520 / 4000 = 5242

So, you need to create at modulo say 5701 (not 101), copy, then use jrf 
to get a bit closer to ideal. However, if you only have 20 items at 1MB 
each, then that is totally different, so I have to assume you just have 
'normal' size items.
