Well in the past, i've seen when writing for OS level auditing, the 
alert.log will get an entry about "not being able to write to adump 
destination" and continue on its way.

What happens to Oracle when sys.aud$ table or Oracle OS Audit file reaches

I am writing an Oracle Security Test plan.  One of the controls requires 
Oracle to stop processing transactions if the Oracle OS Audit files or the 
sys.aud$ table reaches storage capacity.  I cannot find any documentation 
that lets me know what happens to Oracle when this occurs.  Does Oracle 
react the same way as when the Archive Log area reaches storage capacity? 
The version of Oracle that I am using is 11.2.0.1 on Linux x86-64.
