| 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 the SUSE operating system has a separate file system/partition 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. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Create a separate file system/partition on the SUSE operating system for "/var". Migrate "/var" onto the separate file system/partition. |
