Check Text (C-221756r958752_chk)
Determine if the operating system is configured to have the "/var/log/audit" path is on a separate file system.
# grep /var/log/audit /etc/fstab
If no result is returned, or the operating system is not configured to have "/var/log/audit" on a separate file system, this is a finding.
Verify that "/var/log/audit" is mounted on a separate file system:
# mount | grep "/var/log/audit"
If no result is returned, or "/var/log/audit" is not on a separate file system, this is a finding.
Verify the size of the audit file system:
# df -h /var/log/audit
If the size is insufficient for a week of audit data, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-23460r419341_fix)
Migrate the system audit data path onto an appropriately sized separate file system to store at least one week of audit records.
