Given a device file name, howto find its mount point

[Fay_1]

Given a device file name: /dev/rdisk/c69t6d6, how to find its mount point.

df -k shows a list of mount points that are assoicated with the logical volumn but is there some other command that can assoicate the mount point with the physical disk?

Hi Fay,

You cannot find the mount point for the device file if you don't have that information in your /etc/fstab file. On old hfs filesystems i think it used to store the last mount point name.

Hope this helps.

Hi Fay,

If your filesystem is a hfs filesystem, this link can help you,

Hope this helps.

Hi,

you could grep /dev/dsk/c69t6d6 /etc/fstab or /etc/mnttab.
But there is no fixed relation between disk & mount point, you can mount /dev/dsk/c69t6d6 on /aaa, unmount it, and remount it on /bbb.

regards,
Thierry.

pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c69t6d6 | more

will show you what VG is using it if any, and any LV's within that VG.

Type
# mount -p

accidental submit, wasn't finished.

From mount -p you get the volume group and lvol:

/dev/vg00/lvol7 /usr vxfs delaylog,nodatainlog 0 0

So /usr/ is in vg00

pereal:root> strings /etc/lvmtab
/dev/vg00
/dev/dsk/c3t15d0
/dev/dsk/c1t15d0

Or the way you want.

Have /dev/dsk/c3t15d0
strings /etc/lvmtab
oh its in vg00

mount -p | grep vg00

for all the file systems

lvdisplay -v all the lvols to find out exactly where the are.

Later,
Bill

Unless you're using the whole disk for one filesystem and not using LVM, then a disk is usually associated with several mount points. I think you'd have to write a little script which would parse the output from mount -p and correlate that with the output from pvdisplay -v . Hope this helps.

Hello,
fsck of the logical device file name should give the mount point.
#fsck /dev/rdsk/cxdx..

If this is a HP-UX box and you are using LVM on the system, do

#/usr/sbin/pvdisplay /dev/dsk/cxtydz

<>

In non-LVM setup, it is straightforward,
you do any of the: (all apply to HP-UX)
#df -k
#bdf
#mount
#cat /etc/fstab

IF it is LVM setup, then remember that disks
are grouped together in a structure called Volumegroup and then LV's are carved from it.
So, one physical disk can have more than one logical structure sitting on it. The command
to check that would be pvdisplay.
