Ensure /var/log Located On Separate Partition

An XCCDF Rule

Description

System logs are stored in the /var/log directory. Ensure that /var/log has its own partition or logical volume at installation time, or migrate it using LVM.

Rationale

Placing /var/log in its own partition enables better separation between log files and other files in /var/.
