Description Kazuo Moriwaka 2007-08-10 08:31:48 UTC

Description of problem:
When auditd suspend logging by admin_space_left_action, 
auditd does not recover from suspend even after delete files 
in partition and enough free disk space.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
audit-1.0.15-3.EL4
audit-libs-devel-1.0.5-3.EL4
audit-libs-1.0.15-3.EL4

How reproducible:
make a junk file to use disk space near to admin_space_left limit is 
active.  Do something to create audit log.
Wait a minutes for logging to be suspended. auditd claims 
'Audit daemon is suspending logging due to no space left on logging 
partition'. 
After then, you can see deleting junk file, and 'service auditd reload' 
doesn't affect the suspend status. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set admin_space_left_action=SUSPEND in /etc/auditd.conf
2. while [ 0 ]; do date > /dev/null ; done
3. tail -f /var/log/messages 
4. after find suspend message, try some.
  
Actual results:
There isn't good way to recover from suspend.

Expected results:
Some signal or changing of partition free size should be a
chance to restart logging.
