Information
The nodev mount option specifies that the filesystem cannot contain special devices.
Since the /home filesystem is not intended to support devices, set this option to ensure that users cannot create a block or character special devices in /home
Solution
- IF - a separate partition exists for /home
Edit the /etc/fstab file and add nodev to the fourth field (mounting options) for the /home partition.
Example:
<device> /home <fstype> defaults,rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
Run the following command to remount /home with the configured options:
# mount -o remount /home
