Ensure /srv Located On Separate Partition
An XCCDF Rule
Description
If a file server (FTP, TFTP...) is hosted locally, create a separate partition
for /srv
at installation time (or migrate it later using LVM). If
/srv
will be mounted from another system such as an NFS server, then
creating a separate partition is not necessary at installation time, and the
mountpoint can instead be configured later.
Rationale
Srv deserves files for local network file server such as FTP. Ensuring
that /srv
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.
