Fix Recommendation

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.

Check Contents

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.
