Fix Recommendation

If user home directories will be stored locally, create a separate partition for "/home" at installation time (or migrate it later using LVM). If "/home" will be mounted from another system such as an NFS server, then creating a separate partition is not necessary at installation time, and the mountpoint can instead be configured later.

Check Contents

Run the following command to determine if "/home" is on its own partition or logical volume:

$ mount | grep "on /home "

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