devices-linux

To list all devices mounted in your Linux OS, you case use commands like df or mount or specific files like /proc/mounts or /proc/self/mounts or even /etc/mtab

Using df command

df – report file system disk space usage

the popular options are:

  • -a: all file systems
  • -h: print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)
  • -T: print file system type
root@server:~ # df -haT

 

df

Using mount command

mount – mount a filesystem

mount have many exciting options (see man mount). In our case, we will only use -l which adds the labels in the mount output.

root@server:~ # mount

or

root@server:~ # mount -l
