    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.
