Fix Recommendation

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

Check Contents

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

$ mount | grep ' /var '

/dev/mapper/luks-b23d8276-7844-4e79-8a58-505150b6eb42 on /var type xfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota)

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