Fix Recommendation

Migrate the "/var/log" path onto a separate file system.

Check Contents

Verify that a separate file system/partition has been created for "/var/log" with the following command:

$ mount | grep ' /var/log '

/dev/mapper/luks-e0d162f5-fad8-463e-8e39-6bd09e672961 on /var/log type xfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota)

If a separate entry for "/var/log" is not in use, this is a finding.
