How to show the mount point in DF?
Once this is done, the df command will now show the /home mount point for the /dev/sda5 partition. For a persistent mount where partitions will be mounted automatically upon boot, you need to edit the /etc/fstab file.
Why does DF-H not show mounted partitions?
Remember, the df command only shows the partitions which have been mounted (excluding swap partitions). If your partition is not mounted it will not show when you type the df command.
Why does DF keep hanging on the Mount?
It appears df was trying to list that mount and instead of failing gracefully, it just got stuck : ( The most common cause of software like df hanging is when they’re trying to read from a disk that isn’t responsing properly. Check the output from dmesg to see if this is the case — a flaky drive will toss out a great deal of errors.
Why is my HDB not showing up in DF?
If I go to /mnt/hd, and do an ‘ls’, nothing shows up. I can go to /mnt/drive2, even though there is nothing in the fstab file and see everything on that disk. It IS mounted, but how? Also, with the line ‘/dev/hdb1 /mnt/drive2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859’ removed, ‘df’ still doesn’t show any hdb drive of any sort.
Why does DF-H not display mount point / home?
If your partition is not mounted it will not show when you type the df command. As you can see from the command you typed, df -h, that only sda7 is showing, but sda5 and sda6 are not because one of them is a swap and the other is not even mounted — hence it doesn’t show when df -h is used.
How to get 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. However I get to much info (info about other mounts). I can grep it down, but am wondering if there is a better way.
Where do I find mount point in coreutils?
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. If you using a not completely ancient version of the GNU coreutils df, then echo $ (df . –output=target | tail -n 1) works.
