A separate RHEL 9 file system must be used for user home directories (such as /home or an equivalent).

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Ensuring that "/home" is mounted on its own partition enables the setting of more restrictive mount options, and also helps ensure that users cannot trivially fill partitions used for log or audit data storage.
