Check Text ( C-36514r1_chk )
Determine if the /home path is a separate filesystem. # cat /etc/fstab | tr '\011' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | \ grep -v "^#" | cut -f 2,2 -d " " | grep "^/home" | grep -v "/home/" If the above command returns nothing, /home is not on a separate filesystem and this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-31874r1_fix)
Migrate the /home (or equivalent) path onto a separate file system.
