Usage:
findmnt [options]
findmnt [options] <device> | <mountpoint>
findmnt [options] <device> <mountpoint>
findmnt [options] [--source <device>] [--target <path> | --mountpoint <dir>]
Find a (mounted) filesystem.
Data sources:
-F, --tab-file <path> alternative file for -s, -m or -k options
-m, --mtab search in table of mounted filesystems
(includes user space mount options)
-k an alias for '--kernel=mountinfo'
--kernel[=<method>] search in kernel mount table (default behavior);
<method> is mountinfo or listmount
-N, --task <tid> use alternative namespace (/proc/<tid>/mountinfo file)
-p, --poll[=<list>] monitor changes in table of mounted filesystems
-s, --fstab search in static table of filesystems
Data filters:
-A, --all disable all built-in filters, print all filesystems
-d, --direction <word> direction of search, 'forward' or 'backward'
-f, --first-only print the first found filesystem only
-i, --invert invert the sense of matching
--id <num> filter by mount node ID
--uniq-id <num> filter by mount node 64-bit ID (requires --kernel=listmount)
--pseudo print only pseudo-filesystems
-Q, --filter <expr> apply display filter
-M, --mountpoint <dir> the mountpoint directory
--shadowed print only filesystems over-mounted by another filesystem
-R, --submounts print all submounts for the matching filesystems
--real print only real filesystems
-S, --source <string> the device to mount (by name, maj:min,
LABEL=, UUID=, PARTUUID=, PARTLABEL=)
-T, --target <path> the path to the filesystem to use
-t, --types <list> limit the set of filesystems by FS types
-U, --uniq ignore filesystems with duplicate target
Options:
-a, --ascii use ASCII chars for tree formatting
-b, --bytes print sizes in bytes rather than in human readable format
-C, --nocanonicalize don't canonicalize when comparing paths
-c, --canonicalize canonicalize printed paths
-D, --df imitate the output of df(1)
-e, --evaluate convert tags (LABEL,UUID,PARTUUID,PARTLABEL)
to device names
--hyperlink[=<when>]
print paths as hyperlinks (always|never|auto)
-I, --dfi imitate the output of df(1) with -i option
-J, --json use JSON output format
-l, --list use list format output
-n, --noheadings don't print column headings
-O, --options <list> limit the set of filesystems by mount options
-o, --output <list> output columns (see --list-columns)
--output-all output all available columns
-P, --pairs use key="value" output format
-r, --raw use raw output format
--tree enable tree format output if possible
-u, --notruncate don't truncate text in columns
-v, --nofsroot don't print [/dir] for bind or btrfs mounts
-w, --timeout <num> upper limit in milliseconds that --poll will block
-y, --shell use column names to be usable as shell variable identifiers
-x, --verify verify mount table content (default is fstab)
--verbose print more details
--vfs-all print all VFS options
-H, --list-columns list the available columns
-h, --help display this help
-V, --version display version
For more details see findmnt(8).
