Title
The system must use a separate file system for /var/log. (Cat III impact)
Discussion
Placing "/var/log" in its own partition enables better separation between log files and other files in "/var/".
Check Content
Run the following command to determine if "/var/log" is on its own partition or logical volume: $ mount | grep "on /var/log " If "/var/log" has its own partition or volume group, a line will be returned. If no line is returned, this is a finding.
Fix Text
System logs are stored in the "/var/log" directory. Ensure that it has its own partition or logical volume at installation time, or migrate it using LVM.
