One of my security controls is to audit events. I don't have a problem

directories are full and unable to have anything else written to it? I
have looked and cannot find anything that will tell me what happens.
PostgreSQL doesn't have the concept of an audit log. So perhaps you can
explain exactly which functionality you are using for that purpose; then we
might figure out what happens when the disk is full.
In principle, however, you can try this out yourself, by creating a limited-
size partition and pointing your log there. That might give you a better
feeling for what exactly will happen.
