1.1.2.3.4 Ensure a separate file system/partition has been created for non-privileged local interactive user home directories

Information

A separate filesystem must be used for user home directories (such as /home or an equivalent).

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

Solution

Migrate the "/home" directory onto a separate file system/partition.
