Create Separate Partition for /home (Scored)
The /home directory is used to support disk storage needs of local users.
Parameter:
Technical Mechanism:
If the system is intended to support local users, create a separate partition for the /home directory to protect against resource exhaustion and restrict the type of files that can be stored under /home.
Fix:
For new installations, during installation create a custom partition setup and specify a separate partition for /home.
For systems that were previously installed, use the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) to create partitions.
