RHEL-10-000550 - RHEL 10 must use a separate file system for "/var".

Information

Ensuring that "/var" is mounted on its own partition enables the setting of more restrictive mount options. This helps protect system services such as daemons or other programs that use it. It is not uncommon for the "/var" directory to contain world-writable directories installed by other software packages.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 to use a separate file system for the "/var" directory by migrating the "/var" path onto a separate file system.
