Create Separate Partition for /home

Details

The /home directory is used to support disk storage needs of local users.

*Rationale*

If the system is intended to support local users, create a separate partition for the /home

directory to protect against resource exhaustion and restrict the type of files that can be

stored under /home.

Solution

For new installations, during installation create a custom partition setup and specify a
separate partition for /home.For systems that were previously installed, use the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) to
create partitions.
