DESCRIPTION
‘findmnt’ will list all mounted filesytems or search for a filesystem. The findmnt command is able to search in /etc/fstab, /etc/mtab or proc/self/mountinfo. If device or mountpoint is not given, all filesystems are shown.
The device may be specified by device name, maj:min, filesystem LABEL or UUID, or partition PARTUUID or PARTLABEL. Note that a device name may be interpreted as a mount?point (and vice versa) if the –target or –source options are not specified. The command prints all mounted filesystems in the tree-like format by default.
Install findmnt:
The command findmnt comes in the package util-linux-ng, now renamed util-linux. The package comes with several other utilities such as hwclock. To install findmnt download util-linux from kernel.org ftp page. It can also be installed using:
yum install util-linux-ng

Usage:
findmnt [options]
findmnt [options]
findmnt [options]
findmnt [options] [--source
Options:
– smkpwAacDdeFfilNnuOoPrtvRS
There is more information about these options which can be found in the man page.
Useful Example:
findmnt --fstab -t nfs
Prints all NFS filesystems defined in /etc/fstab.
findmnt --fstab /mnt/foo
Prints all /etc/fstab filesystems where the mountpoint directory is /mnt/foo.
It also prints bind mounts where /mnt/foo is a source.
findmnt --fstab --target /mnt/foo
Prints all /etc/fstab filesystems where the mountpoint directory is /mnt/foo.
findmnt --fstab --evaluate
Prints all /etc/fstab filesystems and converts LABEL= and UUID= tags to the real
device names.
findmnt -n --raw --evaluate --output=target LABEL=/boot
Prints only the mountpoint where the filesystem with label “/boot” is mounted.
findmnt --poll --target /mnt/foo
Monitors mount, unmount, remount and move on /mnt/foo. Any changes made to /proc/self/mountinfo file will automatically be updated on the terminal.
findmnt --poll=umount --first-only --target /mnt/foo
Waits for /mnt/foo unmount.
findmnt --poll=remount -t ext3 -O ro
Monitors remounts to read-only mode on all ext3 filesystems.
Read file systems from fstab:
findmnt -s
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/ /dev/mapper/fedora-root ext4 defaults
/boot UUID=18cde604-1c65-4ec8-8a8d-385df50ada3b ext4 defaults
swap /dev/mapper/fedora-swap swap defaults
Filter filesystems by type: Findmnt can print out only specific file systems based on the type, for example ext4.$ findmnt -t ext4
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/ /dev/mapper/fedora-root ext4 rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered
??/boot /dev/sda1 ext4 rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered
Search by mount point: To search file system by the mount directory , specify the directory with or without the ‘-T’/’–target’ option.
$ findmnt -T /
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/ /dev/mapper/fedora-root ext4 rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered
$ findmnt -T /media/4668484A68483B47
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/media/4668484A68483B47 /dev/sda5 fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0
Enjoy!
