mount info for current directory

I can do df .
to get some of the info on the mount that the current directory is in, and I can get all the info I want from mount
, but get to much info (info about other mounts). I can grep it down, but am wondering if there is a better way.
Is there some command mountinfo
such that mountinfo .
gives info I want (like df .
, but with the info that mount
gives.)
I am using Debian Gnu+Linux.

option which gives the mount point is supported in your version of system. I checked in my system and it seemed to not return the mount point.

@Ramesh, Yesstat "--printf=%mn" .
gets the mount-point of the file-system that the current directory is in. Thus allowing us to simplify some of the answers. Thanks.

I think you want something like this:
findmnt -T .
When using the option
-T, --target pathif the path is not a mountpoint file or directory,
findmnt
checks path elements in reverse order to get the mountpoint. You can print only certain fields via -o, --output [list]
.See
findmnt --help
for the list of available fields.Alternatively, you could run:
(until findmnt . ; do cd .. ; done)
The problem you're running into is that all paths are relative to something or other, so you just have to walk the tree. Every time.
findmnt
is a member of the util-linux package and has been for a few years now. By now, regardless of your distro, it should already be installed on your Linux machine if you also have the mount
tool.
man mount | grep findmnt -B1 -m1
For more robust and customizable output use
findmnt(8), especially in your scripts.
findmnt
will print out all mounts' info without a mount-point argument, and only that for its argument with one. The -D
is the emulate df
option. Without -D
its output is similar to mount
's - but far more configurable. Try findmnt --help
and see for yourself.
I stick it in a subshell so the current shell's current directory doesn't change.
So:
mkdir -p /tmp/1/2/3/4/5/6 && cd $_
(until findmnt . ; do cd .. ; done && findmnt -D .) && pwd
OUTPUT
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/tmp tmpfs tmpfs rw
SOURCE FSTYPE SIZE USED AVAIL USE% TARGET
tmpfs tmpfs 11.8G 839.7M 11G 7% /tmp
/tmp/1/2/3/4/5/6
If you do not have the -D
option available to you (Not in older versions of util-linux) then you need never fear - it is little more than a convenience switch in any case. Notice the column headings it produces for each call - you can include or exclude those for each invocation with the -o
utput switch. I can get the same output as -D
might provide like:
findmnt /tmp -o SOURCE,FSTYPE,SIZE,USED,AVAIL,USE%,TARGET
OUTPUT
SOURCE FSTYPE SIZE USED AVAIL USE% TARGET
tmpfs tmpfs 11.8G 1.1G 10.6G 10% /tmp
I like it, except the bit about-D
, I don't have that option. (I am on Debian7, util-linux 2.20.1-5.3)

The Linux/Unix way is to have a toolbox of small utilities that, when combined, give you the results that you're after.
They tend not to have an utility for every occassion. Instead you have many small useful utilities that are combined together with pipes etc. The advantage of this is that you can write your own utility quite easily if none are available.
For example, to get the info you're after, you could use:
mount | grep $(df --output=source . | tail -1)
If you want to reuse the above with different directories, create a script:
#!/bin/bash
mount | grep $(df --output=source $1 | tail -1)
Save it as mountinfo
and make it executable (chmod +x mountinfo
). You can then use it as:
mountinfo .
If you want a system that has an utility for everything none of which interoperate with each other, then a certain Mr Gates may be able to help you ;-)
--output
only exists in very recent versions of GNU coreutils (≥8.22).

This is pretty much what I have been doing, it is just thatmount
with no options seem a bit of an after thought: with options you create mount points, without it lists them, I was hoping for a better list tool. As we see @mikeserv has shown usfindmnt

It can be somewhat messy if the mount points contain blanks, but this should work except in cases where the mount points contain newlines:
#!/bin/sh
mountpoint="$(df -P "$1" | awk '{
if (NR==1)
i=index($0,"Mounted on");
else
print substr($0,i);
}')"
mount|grep " on ${mountpoint} type "
df -P
outputs one line for the filesystem; without that option, df
may output two lines if the mount point is long. The mount point name starts in the same column as does the "Mounted on" label in the header line.
After we get the mount point, we grep for it in the output of mount
.

I don't know of a command, but you could create a function. You can add the below to your .bashrc
:
mountinfo () {
mount | grep $(df -P "$1" | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1}')
}
This executes the mount
command and passes the output to grep
. grep
will look for the output of df -P "$1" | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1}'
, and to break it down:
df -P "$1"
will rundf
on the argument passed to the function,
tail -n 1
will only output the second line, the one that contains thepartition
info.
awk '{print $1}'
will print the first part of that line, which is the disk/partition number, for example/dev/sda5
. That's whatgrep
will look for in the mount command, and output it.
Source your .bashrc
file to apply the changes, or log out and log back in.
Now, if you run mountinfo .
, you'll get the output you want.
This is pretty much what I have been doing (but without the function, I don't do it enough, when I do it is on other systems e.g. answers on this site. ), it is just thatmount
with no options seem a bit of an after thought: with options you create mount points, without it lists them, I was hoping for a better list tool. As we see @mikeserv has shown usfindmnt
.

If you want to reuse the above with different directories, create a script:
#!/bin/bash
mount | grep $(df --output=source $1 | tail -1)
Save it as mountinfo
and make it executable (chmod +x mountinfo
). You can then use it as:
mountinfo .
If you want a system that has an utility for everything none of which interoperate with each other, then a certain Mr Gates may be able to help you ;-)
--output
only exists in very recent versions of GNU coreutils (≥8.22).

The Linux/Unix way is to have a toolbox of small utilities that, when combined, give you the results that you're after.
They tend not to have an utility for every occassion. Instead you have many small useful utilities that are combined together with pipes etc. The advantage of this is that you can write your own utility quite easily if none are available.
For example, to get the info you're after, you could use:
mount | grep $(df --output=source . | tail -1)
If you want to reuse the above with different directories, create a script:
#!/bin/bash
mount | grep $(df --output=source $1 | tail -1)

It can be somewhat messy if the mount points contain blanks, but this should work except in cases where the mount points contain newlines:
#!/bin/sh
mountpoint="$(df -P "$1" | awk '{
if (NR==1)
i=index($0,"Mounted on");
else
print substr($0,i);
}')"
mount|grep " on ${mountpoint} type "
df -P
outputs one line for the filesystem; without that option, df
may output two lines if the mount point is long. The mount point name starts in the same column as does the "Mounted on" label in the header line.
After we get the mount point, we grep for it in the output of mount
.

I don't know of a command, but you could create a function. You can add the below to your .bashrc
:
mountinfo () {
mount | grep $(df -P "$1" | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1}')
}
This executes the mount
command and passes the output to grep
. grep
will look for the output of df -P "$1" | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1}'
, and to break it down:
df -P "$1"
will rundf
on the argument passed to the function,
tail -n 1
will only output the second line, the one that contains thepartition
info.
awk '{print $1}'
will print the first part of that line, which is the disk/partition number, for example/dev/sda5
. That's whatgrep
will look for in the mount command, and output it.
Source your .bashrc
file to apply the changes, or log out and log back in.
Now, if you run mountinfo .
, you'll get the output you want.
This is pretty much what I have been doing (but without the function, I don't do it enough, when I do it is on other systems e.g. answers on this site. ), it is just thatmount
with no options seem a bit of an after thought: with options you create mount points, without it lists them, I was hoping for a better list tool. As we see @mikeserv has shown usfindmnt

I believe
stat
command can be used as well. However, I am not sure if%m
option which gives the mount point is supported in your version of system. I checked in my system and it seemed to not return the mount point.– Ramesh

@Ramesh, Yes
stat "--printf=%mn" .
gets the mount-point of the file-system that the current directory is in. Thus allowing us to simplify some of the answers. Thanks.– ctrl-alt-delor
