SV-28618r3_rule A separate file system must be used for user home directories (such as /home or equivalent).

Vulnerability discussion

The use of separate file systems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a file system becoming full or failing.

Check content

Determine if the /export/home path is a separate file system. # grep /export/home /etc/vfstab If no result is returned, /export/home is not on a separate file system and this is a finding. If ZFS is used for home directories, this is not applicable.

Fix text

Migrate the /export/home path onto a separate file system.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
