Once enabled, the auditing system performs frequent I/O to the sysaudits table in the sybsecurity database. If your applications perform a significant amount of auditing, place sybsecurity on a disk that is used for tables where fast response time is not critical. Ideally, place sybsecurity on its own device.
Use the threshold manager to monitor free space to avoid suspending user transactions if the audit database fills up. See Chapter 16, “Managing Free Space with Thresholds,” In System Administration Guide, Volume 2 for information about determing appropriate thresholds.
