Title
Authentication stops when /var gets full - Relocate /var/opt/quest -
Description
When /var partition fills up for any reason, Authentication Services may fail to work correctly because /var/opt/quest does not have enough space to perform its functions.Can /var/opt/quest be mounted in its own partition or symlinked to another partition? -
Resolution
To avoid potential errors with Authentication Services, you may opt to move /var/opt/quest to its partition or symlink it.As a general rule, please make sure that the free space you are providing to /var/opt/quest is around four times the current space being used by the directory: i.e., du -sh /var/opt/quest * 4If you are using RHEL and similar distributions, make sure you add the proper SELINUX rules in case you have SELINUX in ENFORCED mode.
