If not cleared out, log files can eventually consume a large amount of data, sometimes filling a drive to its capacity. If the log files are on the same partition as the operating system, this could potentially bring down a Linux computer. What directories (or mount points) SHOULD be configured on its own partition to prevent this from happening?

Answer:

/var

Step-by-step explanation:

The /var subdirectory contains files to which the system writes data during the course of its operation. Hence, since it serves as a system directory, it would prevent log files from consuming a large amount of data.
