You should have no problem writing large files (100's of gigs) on RHEL 4. Use this command to test writing a large file to the machine somewhere in a file system that has the free space. dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1024 count=40000000 The above command will write a 40 gig file. I just ran it on my RHEL 4.0 system with no problems.
