| Description |
| The use of separate file systems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a file system becoming full or failing. |
Details
| Check Text (C-52042r902792_chk) |
Verify that a separate file system has been created for "/var" with the following command:
$ sudo grep /var /etc/fstab
/dev/mapper/... /var xfs defaults,nodev 0 0
If a separate entry for "/var" is not in use, this is a finding. |
