Re: Lots of accounting data

I only really see two options, neither of which I particularly like:
* Throw more disk at the problem (but given what I've seen, I don't
like the odds that within a month or two, I'll realize I didn't give
it enough).
* Turn off accounting on these boxes.

* Rotate and compress more frequently; and store less history?

The compressed history amounts to nothing in comparison (1.5GB per file
as opposed to 17GB). I suppose I could configure our hourly logrotate to
replace the functionality of /etc/periodic/daily/310.accounting. Sounds
like a viable solution to me.

Thanks,
