A Manual Procedure
Allocate enough storage capacity for at least one week of SLEM 5 audit records when audit records are not immediately sent to a central audit record storage facility.
If audit records are stored on a partition made specifically for audit records, use the "YaST2 - Partitioner" program (installation and configuration tool for Linux) to resize the partition with sufficient space to contain one week of audit records.
If audit records are not stored on a partition made specifically for audit records, a new partition with sufficient amount of space will need be to be created. The new partition can be created using the "YaST2 - Partitioner" program on the system.
