| Description |
|---|
| Placing "/var/log" in its own partition enables better separation between log files and other files in "/var/". |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| 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. |
