There are two important reasons to ensure that data gathered by is stored on a separate partition: protection against resource exhaustion (since the audit.log
file can grow quite large) and protection of audit data. The audit daemon calculates how much free space is left and performs actions based on the results. If other processes (such as syslog) consume space in the same partition as auditd, it may not perform as desired.
