[ excerpted from the 4.3BSD sys_acct.c file ]: * Accounting is suspended when the number of free blocks in the accounting * file's filesystem (as calculated by the freeblks() macro) is less than the * number of blocks used by the accounting file itself. Accounting is also * suspended when the filesystem freespace is extremely close to exhaustion * (as defined by ACCT_MINFREE). * * Accounting is resumed when the number of free blocks in the filesystem is * greater than twice the number of blocks used by the accounting file. * Accounting is not resumed if the freespace is less than the hard limit * defined by ACCT_MINFREE. This is to prevent thrashing when both freespace * and the accounting file are small. In 4.3BSD, the default value of ACCT_MINFREE is 200. ...tad
