Shell script to know whether a filesystem is already mounted

I have a tmpfs file system mounted on a particular directory. I want to write a shell script to check whether the tmpfs filesystem is already mounted on the directory.

You can check the type of the filesystem.



$ stat -f -c '%T' /

xfs

$ stat -f -c '%T' /dev/shm

tmpfs

You could also check whether a directory is a mountpoint by comparing its device with its parent's.



$ stat -c '%D' /

901

$ stat -c '%D' /home

$ stat -c '%D' /home/$USER

There's a tool specifically for this: mountpoint(1)

if mountpoint -q "$directory" ; then

    echo it is a mounted mountpoint

else

    echo it is not a mounted mountpoint

fi

And you don't even have to scrape strings to do it!

Note that I find this tool in Debian's initscripts package. How available it is elsewhere is not something I can comment on.

I see that mountpoint is part of the Gentoo Linux sys-apps/util-linux package along with more, mount, umount, dmesg, and a bunch of other system tools. I would say this is the cleanest solution.

@cvolny: It turns out that mountpoint is part of util-linux (specifically the sys-utils part) and is probably available one way or another in most Linux distributions. It is, however, not part of GNU and not likely available on non-Linux systems.

I know this thread is old, but why not just use df and grep for the required path to the mountpoint? i.e. like this:

df /full/path | grep -q /full/path

grep returns true if mounted, false if not. So we just need to test it like this:

df /mnt/myUSBdisk | grep -q /mnt/myUSBdisk && echo "Mounted" || echo "Not mounted"

Easy peasy...

I decided to up-vote this one because although mountpoint would be easier for the question asked, this answer is more flexible. For example, some linux distros mount shared memory tmpfs at /tmp while others use /dev/shm or both. This answer makes it easy to realize you could tell if /tmp is shared memory or not the same way: df /tmp | grep -q tmpfs && echo "Shared Memory" || echo "Not Shared Memory Or, more to the point df /tmp | grep -q tmpfs && tmp=/tmp || tmp=/dev/shm

You could use df, try man df.

df 'directory' | awk '{print $1, $6}'

will give you sth like:

Filesystem Mounted

/dev/sda5  'some_dir'

you can then add a check if the directory 'some_dir' is same as 'your_dir', and filesystem is same as yours.

Check /proc/mounts. If you grep on the filesystem name and the path you want it mounted (maybe even a specific line with all options included) you can tell if the filesystem is mounted.

if [ "`grep "tmpfs /lib/init/rw tmpfs rw,nosuid,mode=755 0 0" /proc/mounts`" != "" ]

then

  echo Mounted.

else

  echo Not mounted.

I know this thread is old, but why not just use df and grep for the required path to the mountpoint? i.e. like this:

df /full/path | grep -q /full/path

grep returns true if mounted, false if not. So we just need to test it like this:

df /mnt/myUSBdisk | grep -q /mnt/myUSBdisk && echo "Mounted" || echo "Not mounted"

Check /proc/mounts. If you grep on the filesystem name and the path you want it mounted (maybe even a specific line with all options included) you can tell if the filesystem is mounted.

if [ "`grep "tmpfs /lib/init/rw tmpfs rw,nosuid,mode=755 0 0" /proc/mounts`" != "" ]

then

  echo Mounted.

else

  echo Not mounted.
