How do I check where devices are mounted?
There are at least three programs I know of that list device mount points:
mount
- mount a filesystem (used for general mount info too):$ mount /dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) ... /dev/mapper/lvmg-homelvm on /home type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress=lzo,space_cache) /dev/sda5 on /home/muru/arch type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress=lzo,space_cache) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) systemd on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd type cgroup (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,none,name=systemd)
df
- report file system disk space usage$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 30832636 11993480 17249912 42% / none 4 0 4 0% /sys/fs/cgroup ... /dev/sda5 31457280 3948600 25396496 14% /home/bro3886/arch
lsblk
- list block devices$ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 100M 0 part ├─sda2 8:2 0 58.5G 0 part ├─sda3 8:3 0 30G 0 part / ├─sda4 8:4 0 1K 0 part ├─sda5 8:5 0 30G 0 part ├─sda6 8:6 0 339.2G 0 part │ └─lvmg-homelvm (dm-0) 252:0 0 1.2T 0 lvm └─sda7 8:7 0 8G 0 part [SWAP] sdb 8:16 0 931.5G 0 disk └─sdb1 8:17 0 931.5G 0 part └─lvmg-homelvm (dm-0) 252:0 0 1.2T 0 lvm
Of these three, mount
lists all the mountpoints, AFAICT. The others have their weaknesses.
findmnt
suggested by @webwurst is now my favourite tool for the job. It's a Swiss Army knife when it comes to output control (newer versions can output in JSON too):$ findmnt / TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS / /dev/sda1 ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered $ findmnt / -no source /dev/sda1 $ findmnt / --json { "filesystems": [ {"target": "/", "source": "/dev/sda1", "fstype": "ext4", "options": "rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered"} ] } $ findmnt / --df SOURCE FSTYPE SIZE USED AVAIL USE% TARGET /dev/sda1 ext4 40.2G 25.8G 12.5G 64% /
findmnt
is the tool to use:
findmnt
will list all mounted filesytems or search for a filesystem. Thefindmnt
command is able to search in/etc/fstab
,/etc/fstab.d
,/etc/mtab
or/proc/self/mountinfo
. If device or mountpoint is not given, all filesystems are shown.The command prints all mounted filesystems in the tree-like format by default.
If it's an iPod, it will probably be mounted by gvfs.
Have a look in /run/user/1000/gvfs/afc*
(assuming your uid is 1000)
The other command that might help is gvfs-mount -l
