Fix Recommendation

Update each NFS mounted file system to use the "nodev" option on file systems that are being imported via NFS.

Check Contents

Note: If no NFS mounts are configured, this requirement is Not Applicable.

Verify AlmaLinux OS 9 has the "nodev" option configured for all NFS mounts with the following command:

$ grep nfs /etc/fstab

192.168.1.9:/mnt/export /backups nfs4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,sync,soft,sec=krb5p:krb5i:krb5

If the system is mounting file systems via NFS and the "nodev" option is missing, this is a finding.
