Firebird.config - DatabaseGrowthIncrement

hello

I'm trying to make my Firebird embedded database increment by 128MB at a time - scoped around the web I found "Firebird.config" is what i needed

<br />
# ----------------------------<br />
# Disk space preallocation<br />
#<br />
# Sets the amount of preallocated disk space in bytes. Disk space<br />
# preallocation allows to reduce physical file fragmentation and to make <br />
# database work in out of disk space condition. With preallocation enabled,<br />
# engine allocates 1/16nth of already allocated disk space at a time but <br />
# not less than 128KB and no more than DatabaseGrowthIncrement (128MB by <br />
# default). To disable preallocation set DatabaseGrowthIncrement to zero.<br />
# Shadow database files are not preallocated.<br />
#<br />
# Type: integer<br />
#<br />
DatabaseGrowthIncrement = 134217728<br />

DatabaseGrowthIncrement = 134217728 = 128MB x 1024 x 1024 ("DatabaseGrowthIncrement" is in bytes)

I put it in same folder as my exe, and also in same folder as my Firebird database "FDB" file - when I refresh from Windows File Explorer, it doesn't "look like" Firebird is incrementing 128MB a time - anybody knows where to put "Firebird.conf" and how to know if my fdb database file really is incrementing 128MB a time?

Thanks in advance.
