System audit (audsys) filling the file system and hanging the system
Enabling system audit on my system is filling the /var file system and hanging the complete system and i have to go for reboot to fix it.
it keeps on creating new files and fill the filesystem , even new sparate file system for audit has same ending.
Is there anyway to limit the space utilization by system audit (audsys) or to make it run smoother.
in /etc/rc.config.d/auditing I have following arguments for daemon.
Thanks in Advance!
Rajeev!

Re: System audit (audsys) filling the file system and hanging the system
1) Provide considerably more disk space and implement a mechanism to archive audit logs regularly.
2) Choose to audit less things - see the man pages for audevent and audusr for info on how to choose what to audit...

You asked that it log that much info. You need to wade through what you got to see what you don't need.

I usually create a /.secure 2 gig FS.
But I only audit root actions.
