Discussion

The use of separate file systems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a file system becoming full or failing.

Check Content

Determine if the /var/log/audit path is a separate filesystem.
# grep "/var/log/audit " /etc/fstab
If no result is returned, /var/log/audit is not on a separate filesystem this is a finding.

Fix Text

Migrate the /var/log/audit path onto a separate filesystem.
