Fix Recommendation

The "/var" directory is used by daemons and other system services to store frequently-changing data. Ensure that "/var" 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" is on its own partition or logical volume:

$ mount | grep "on /var "

If "/var" has its own partition or volume group, a line will be returned.
If no line is returned, this is a finding.
