1.4 RHEL-10-000530

Information

RHEL 10 must use a separate file system for user home directories (such as "/home" or an equivalent).

GROUP ID: V-280937RULE ID: SV-280937r1184727

Ensuring that "/home" is mounted on its own partition enables the setting of more restrictive mount options and helps ensure that users cannot trivially fill partitions used for log or audit data storage.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 to use a separate file system for user home directories by migrating the "/home" directory onto a separate file system/partition.
