Description

Sections about filesystem partitions asks for some partitions to be separate (i.e. /var/tmp, /var/log) only on level 2, but their respective mount options should be checked also on level 1.

However the benchmark specifies : « - IF - a separate partition exists for ... »

We are checking the mount options on directories that are not separate mountpoints, resulting in an inconsistency in the compliance report.

(See screenshot which is about RHEL 9)

I don't know how to do this : in the benchmark we are asked to check that output of a command shows a partition is mounted, like /var /dev/sdb ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel. The thing is that, except for the first term ( /var here), everything else can change.
