mountpoint
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, major:minor
numbers, filesystem label or UUID, or partition label or
UUID. Note that findmnt follows mount(8) behavior where a
device name may be interpreted as a mountpoint (and vice
versa) if the −−target
, −−mountpoint
or −−source
options are not
specified.
The command prints all mounted filesystems in the tree-like format by default.
−A,
−−all
Disable all built-in filters and print all filesystems.
−a,
−−ascii
Use ascii characters for tree formatting.
−b,
−−bytes
Print the SIZE, USED and AVAIL columns in bytes rather than in a human-readable format.
−C,
−−nocanonicalize
Do not canonicalize paths at all. This option affects the comparing of paths and the evaluation of tags (LABEL, UUID, etc.).
−c,
−−canonicalize
Canonicalize all printed paths.
−D,
−−df
Imitate the output of df(1). This option is
equivalent to −o
SOURCE,FSTYPE,SIZE,USED,AVAIL,USE%,TARGET
but
excludes all pseudo filesystems. Use −−all
to print all
filesystems.
−d,
−−direction word
The search direction, either forward or backward.
−e,
−−evaluate
Convert all tags (LABEL, UUID, PARTUUID or PARTLABEL) to the corresponding device names.
−F,
−−tab−file path
Search in an alternative file. If used with
−−fstab
,
−−mtab
or
−−kernel
, then
it overrides the default paths. If specified more than
once, then tree-like output is disabled (see the
−−list
option).
−f,
−−first−only
Print the first matching filesystem only.
−h,
−−help
Display help text and exit.
−i,
−−invert
Invert the sense of matching.
−J,
−−json
Use JSON output format.
−k,
−−kernel
Search in /proc/self/mountinfo
. The output is
in the tree-like format. This is the default.
−l,
−−list
Use the list output format. This output format is
automatically enabled if the output is restricted by
the −t
, −O
, −S
or −T
option and the option
−−submounts
is
not used or if more that one source file (the option
−F
) is specified.
−M,
−−mountpoint path
Explicitly define the mountpoint file or directory.
See also −−target
.
−m,
−−mtab
Search in /etc/mtab
.
The output is in the list format (see −−list
).
−N,
−−task tid
Use alternative namespace
/proc/<tid>/mountinfo rather than the default
/proc/self/mountinfo. If the option is specified more
than once, then tree-like output is disabled (see the
−−list
option).
See also the unshare(1)
command.
−n,
−−noheadings
Do not print a header line.
−O,
−−options list
Limit the set of printed filesystems. More than one
option may be specified in a comma-separated list. The
−t
and −O
options are cumulative in
effect. It is different from −t
in that each option is matched
exactly; a leading no at the beginning
does not have global meaning. The "no" can used for
individual items in the list. The "no" prefix
interpretation can be disabled by "+" prefix.
−o,
−−output list
Define output columns. See the −−help
output to get a list
of the currently supported columns. The TARGET
column contains tree
formatting if the −−list
or −−raw
options are not
specified.
The default list of columns may be extended if
list is
specified in the format +list
(e.g.
findmnt −o
+PROPAGATION).
−P
, −−pairs
Use key="value" output format. All potentially unsafe characters are hex-escaped (\x<code>).
−p
, −−poll
[=list
]Monitor changes in the /proc/self/mountinfo file. Supported actions are: mount, umount, remount and move. More than one action may be specified in a comma-separated list. All actions are monitored by default.
The time for which −−poll
will block can be
restricted with the −−timeout
or −−first−only
options.
The standard columns always use the new version of the information from the mountinfo file, except the umount action which is based on the original information cached by findmnt(8). The poll mode allows to use extra columns:
ACTION
mount, umount, move or remount action name; this column is enabled by default
- OLD-TARGET
available for umount and move actions
- OLD-OPTIONS
available for umount and remount actions
−R,
−−submounts
Print recursively all submounts for the selected
filesystems. The restrictions defined by options
−t
, −O
, −S
, −T
and −−direction
are not applied
to submounts. All submounts are always printed in
tree-like order. The option enables the tree-like
output format by default. This option has no effect for
−−mtab
or
−−fstab
.
−r,
−−raw
Use raw output format. All potentially unsafe characters are hex-escaped (\x<code>).
−S,
−−source spec
Explicitly define the mount source. Supported
specifications are device
, maj:
min, LABEL=
label, UUID=
uuid, PARTLABEL=
label and PARTUUID=
uuid.
−s,
−−fstab
Search in /etc/fstab
.
The output is in the list format (see −−list
).
−T,
−−target path
Define the mount target. If path is not a
mountpoint file or directory, then findmnt checks the
path
elements in reverse order to get the mountpoint (this
feature is supported only when searching in kernel
files and unsupported for −−fstab
). It's recommended
to use the option −−mountpoint
when checks of
path
elements are unwanted and path is a strictly
specified mountpoint.
−t,
−−types list
Limit the set of printed filesystems. More than one type may be specified in a comma-separated list. The list of filesystem types can be prefixed with no to specify the filesystem types on which no action should be taken. For more details see mount(8).
−U,
−−uniq
Ignore filesystems with duplicate mount targets, thus effectively skipping over-mounted mount points.
−u,
−−notruncate
Do not truncate text in columns. The default is to
not truncate the TARGET
,
SOURCE
, UUID
, LABEL
, PARTUUID
, PARTLABEL
columns. This option
disables text truncation also in all other columns.
−v,
−−nofsroot
Do not print a [/dir] in the SOURCE column for bind mounts or btrfs subvolumes.
−w,
−−timeout milliseconds
Specify an upper limit on the time for which
−−poll
will
block, in milliseconds.
Prints all NFS filesystems defined in /etc/fstab
.
Prints all /etc/fstab
filesystems where the mountpoint directory is /mnt/foo.
It also prints bind mounts where /mnt/foo is a
source.
Prints all /etc/fstab
filesystems where the mountpoint directory is
/mnt/foo.
Prints all /etc/fstab
filesystems and converts LABEL= and UUID= tags to the
real device names.
Prints only the mountpoint where the filesystem with label "/boot" is mounted.
Monitors mount, unmount, remount and move on /mnt/foo.
Waits for /mnt/foo unmount.
Monitors remounts to read-only mode on all ext3 filesystems.
