| 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-23470r419337_chk) |
Verify that a separate file system/partition has been created for "/var".
Check that a file system/partition has been created for "/var" with the following command:
# grep /var /etc/fstab
UUID=c274f65f /var ext4 noatime,nobarrier 1 2
If a separate entry for "/var" is not in use, this is a finding. |
