acctresume specifies how much free file-system space must be available before accounting can be resumed.

Acceptable Values:

Minimum
-100
Maximum
101
Default
4

Specify integer value. For more information, see Specifying Parameter Values.

Description

This parameter is of interest only if process accounting is being used on the system.

acctresume specifies the minimum amount of free space that must be available in the file system before the system can resume process accounting if it is suspended due to insufficient free space. The threshold at which accounting is suspended is defined by acctsuspend .

For an overview of how accounting is suspended and resumed, see Overview of Accounting Suspend and Resume ).

Selecting a Value for acctresume

The threshold at which accounting resumes can be set to any value from no free space to the entire usable area in the file system. However, acctresume is specified relative to the value for minfree, and should be larger than acctsuspend (see Related Parameters topic below). To select a value, see Specifying an Accounting Threshold Value .

Process accounting is resumed when sufficient space (as specified by acctresume plus minfree) becomes available. If the sum is greater than 100 percent, or greater than the maximum normal free space, accounting cannot resume.

Related Parameters

acctsuspend and acctresume are interrelated. To prevent suspend-resume conflicts, the signed, integer value of acctresume must always be greater than the signed, integer value of acctsuspend.
