check the output of

#ulimit -a

find the line containing "file size"
if it is set to some value , the go to /etc/security/limits.conf and comment the same parameter in this file.

else if not able to find we can add line in limits.conf as


<User Name> - fsize unlimited

this might help.......
all the best.....
