Upgrading to RedHat 7.2 or better may help this.  It depends on what
application is having problems writing the file.  If it's a normal system
application, 7.3 may do the job.  If it's some application you've added on
and/or compiled yourself, you will probably have to compile it with "large
file support" (LFS).  How you do this depends on what the application is.
