The auditd service can be configured to take an action
when disk space is running low but prior to running out of space completely.
Edit the file /etc/audit/auditd.conf. Add or modify the following line,
substituting ACTION appropriately:
disk_full_action = ACTION
Set this value to single to cause the system to switch to single-user
mode for corrective action. Acceptable values also include syslog,
single, and halt. For certain systems, the need for availability
outweighs the need to log all actions, and a different setting should be
determined. Details regarding all possible values for ACTION are described in the
auditd.conf man page.
