Check Text (C-75486r1091018_chk)
Verify that OL 9 uses a separate file system/partition for "/var/log" with the following command:

$ mount | grep /var/log
UUID=c274f65f-c5b5-4486-b021-bee96feb8b21 /var/log xfs noatime 1 2

If a separate entry for "/var/log" is not in use, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-75393r1091019_fix)
Migrate the "/var/log" path onto a separate file system.
