Hello Mike,
It seems smb auditing is enabled on cluster. you can move these files to /ifs/data/
for eg:
ln -s /var/log/audit /ifs/
How to: Linux / UNIX create soft link with ln command

Hi Mike,
The /var partition is limited to 500MB by default, you will receive the alert message when the /var partition reaches 75%, 85% or 95% of capacity. According to your requirement, I strongly suggest you refer to primus emc14000946 which provides a solution for high capacity of /var partition.
