Subject: is there a util, or can findmnt be enhanced...(RFE?)
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2021 12:44:01 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <604A8111.8090100@tlinx.org> (raw)

I see 'findmnt' shows a mount if you specify the mount point.

Given the name, I was surprised it didn't already do
this: I was wondering if it could find
the mount point of a file or pathname I give to it?

So if I am in /home/cache/suse, and type:

>  findmnt .

it would tell me something like:

/home[cache/suse] /dev/Space/Home

meaning:
MNTPOINT[offset_path]  <device>

Thanks!
