The -f 2 option controls how the *kernel* will react when it meets a failure 
condition of some kind. The audit daemon itself takes care of problems like 
being out of disk space. You can configure it to warn you that its getting 
low on disk space with the space_left_action and admin_space_left_action. 
What to do when completely out of disk space is set by the disk_full_action. 
This is in the auditd.conf man page along with other tips in the NOTES 
section.

It will. This was tested for CAPP.
