Discussion
The use of separate file systems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a file system becoming full or failing.

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