GEN003650 - All local file systems must employ journaling or another mechanism that ensures file system consistency.

Information

File system journaling, or logging, can allow reconstruction of file system data after a system crash preserving the integrity of data that may have otherwise been lost. Journaling file systems typically do not require consistency checks upon booting after a crash, which can improve system availability. Some file systems employ other mechanisms to ensure consistency also satisfying this requirement.

Solution

Convert local file systems to use journaling or another mechanism ensuring file system consistency.
