So i am trying to write a script for hardening Ubuntu based on CIS benchmarks, this is what recommended for /var:CIS benchmark details

for testing purpose i have installed a new Ubuntu 22.04 in Vbox, findmnt --kernel /var has no output, so /var is not mounted. My question is how do I mount /var as a separate partition, i have tried adding /dev/sda3 /var ext4 defaults 2 2 to the /etc/fstab file and run mount -a command to mount /var , this does not give any error and also shows in the list when i run findmnt --kernel, but when i reboot the system, the OS crashes.

Please help me in implementing this.

  • i tried the recommended method, theere its suggeted to create a seperate partition and then start with mounting, when i run sudo parted -l i only get /dev/sda partion and it will remove the OS if i partiton this for mounting /var @Raffa – goose57 Dec 26 '23 at 04:44
