1.1.7.1 Ensure separate partition exists for /home

Audit#

Run the following command and verify output shows /home is mounted: 

# findmnt --kernel /home
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/home /dev/sdb ext4 rw,relatime,seclabel

Remediation#

For new installations, during installation create a custom partition setup and specify a separate partition for /home.

For systems that were previously installed, create a new partition and configure /etc/fstab as appropriate.
