directory tree showing mountpoints

Thomas Moersch — Mon, 02 May 2005 12:17:26 GMT

Is anybody aware of a way to show a directory tree which would indicate mountpoints?
This could be a great time saver!

Thanks in advance.

maybe something like this: http://hpux.ee.ualberta.ca/hppd/hpux/Gnome/gfv-0.2.1/

bdf, showmount and exportfs also work.

The gui sounds interesting but is not possible on my servers. GUIs are out.
Maybe a combination of bdf, showmount, find, du etc. will haev to do.

Maybe http://hpux.ee.ualberta.ca/hppd/hpux/hpux/Users/cls-1.8/ and modify the color for mounted directories?

bdf shows the mountpoints. I'm not sure what else you would need. Thed source for the mountpoint is the first element and the attachment point (mountpoint) is the last element. For mounts that are hierarchical (like /var/adm/sw) the mounpoint will have the fullpath. bdf also accepts a filename or any directory and the result will be the mountpoint for the given file/directory.

bdf does make scripting a pain because of long source names such as NFS that get split onto two lines. There is an easy workaround though. This code snippet will handle split lines and remove the title line:

bdf | while read SOURCE SIZ USED FREE PCT MOUNT
do
[ "$SIZ" = "kbytes" ] && continue
[ "$SIZ" = "" ] && read SIZ USED FREE PCT MOUNT
echo $SOURCE $SIZ $USED $FREE $PCT $MOUNT
done

Do you mean something like "TREE" command in MS-DOS?

Interesting !!

My memory points to `find` with the "--mount" or "-xdev" option to not enter mountpoints. Something like `find . -xdev -print` (or "-ls" or "-exec ls -ld {} \;")

Just tune this to how you like to see mountpoints.

find ./ -xdev -type d

Hi,
this might do what you request, but it takes forever to execute: try it with a directory starting point as "$1":

#!/usr/bin/sh

find "$1" -type f -print| while read line
do
bdf "$line" | tail -1| awk -v filename=$line '{print filename " mounted on:" $NF}'
done

regards,
