RHEL-09-231035 - RHEL 9 must use a separate file system for /var/tmp.

Information

The "/var/tmp" partition is used as temporary storage by many programs. Placing "/var/tmp" in its own partition enables the setting of more restrictive mount options, which can help protect programs that use it.

Solution

Migrate the "/var/tmp" path onto a separate file system.
