Potential false positives

edit

File System or Mount being deleted may be performed by a system administrator. Verify whether the user identity, user agent, and/or hostname should be making changes in your environment. File System Mount deletion by unfamiliar users should be investigated. If known behavior is causing false positives, it can be exempted from the rule.
