| Description |
|---|
| Placing "/var/log" in its own partition enables better separation between log files and other files in "/var/". |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify that a separate file system/partition has been created for "/var/log" with the following command: $ mount | grep ' /var/log ' /dev/mapper/luks-e0d162f5-fad8-463e-8e39-6bd09e672961 on /var/log type xfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota) If a separate entry for "/var/log" is not in use, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Migrate the "/var/log" path onto a separate file system. |
