Yes.

The file system has about 240 megabytes of free space. Our volume
history file is a little under one megabyte.

The server code runs as root, which can write to any file in any
directory, regardless of ownership and permission bits. The server
usually can write to the file. We update the volume history file
many times every day, and the errors occur once every week or two
on average.
