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.
ℹ️ Check
Verify that a separate file system has been created for "/var/tmp".
Check that a file system has been created for "/var/tmp" with the following command:
$ sudo grep /var/tmp /etc/fstab
/dev/mapper/... /var/tmp xfs defaults,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
If a separate entry for "/var/tmp" is not in use, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Migrate the "/var/tmp" path onto a separate file system.
