checking mount point directory

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi Patrice:

EXCELLENNT POINT!...and I run MC/ServiceGuard too!!!...

One of the things I've done in my cluster's fstab files is to place the pound (#) mark over the device special file name (field-1). This reminds me of the mount point although 'mount' complains mildly during bootup.

With my regards and my thanks for your corrections, Jim. :-))

Gooooood .... Discussion.

Maybe you know why i prefer mount command!!

I did not think in S/G neither.

Note my grep contain caret "^" This is begin of line and space " " as separator.

Fine, Patrice.

Everyone seems to be overlooking the easist and most reliable way :-

#!/usr/bin/sh
if [ `/usr/bin/ls -ldi . | awk '{ print $1}'` = 2 ]
then
echo This is a mount point
else
echo This is not a mount point
fi

Each filesystem has it's own *root* directory. All root directories have the inode number 2 :-)

Hey Andy,

That's by far the most elegant solution !! You deserve at least 20 (or more) for that one.

It's surprising that no one else even thought about that one...

You kicked our a$@es !!

My 10 points to Andy 8-O.

Now, we can go far away:

Find / -inum 2

Jim: Following your Philosofy you must add /SD_CDROM, /cdrom, /tmp_mnt ...

Hi boys and girls.

I thank everybody for your help.

I agree with Dan: Andy Monks suggested the most elegant solution.

I'll try to post other interesting questions...
