large file system

[Dave Martini 1]

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.
