Check Contents

Verify RHEL 10 uses a separate file system/partition for the system audit data path with the following command:

Note: /var/log/audit is used as the example as it is a common location.

$ mount | grep /var/log/audit
/dev/mapper/rootvg-varlogaudit on /var/log/audit type xfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota)
Note: Options displayed for mount may differ.
