Suddenly, as in the last few weeks to a month, possibly as updates were
applied and new kernels run, I'm seeing a bunch of these.

On another system, I see in this morning's logs
 --------------------- Selinux Audit Begin ------------------------

 **Unmatched Entries**
  Audit daemon has no space left on logging partition
  Audit daemon is suspending logging due to no space left on logging
partition.

 ---------------------- Selinux Audit End -------------------------
--------------------- Disk Space Begin ------------------------

 Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
 /dev/sda3             914G  722G  146G  84% /
 /dev/sda1            1008M  103M  855M  11% /boot

 ---------------------- Disk Space End -------------------------

However, I also see that a user was running R, and oom-killer was invoked.
My suspicion is that it's *not* disk space that's run out, as the message
suggests, but rather that the system ran out of memory, and the sealert
gave the wrong information.

Your thoughts, Dan (or anyone)?
