Once upon a time you could use the command 'mount' to see what filesystems were mounted but it has now got so cluttered with 'virtual' filesystems that it's pretty useless.

What's an easy way of seeing what actual, data containing, useful filesystems are mounted? I.e. the physical disks and the NFS ones.

Wellllll, for physical only, lsblk -f may be much nicer output for you...

For nfs too, then...

mount -t ext2,ext3,ext4,xfs,btrfs,vfat,nfs,smbfs

Should fairly much get you everything.

Yes, that's the sort of filtering I want, I think that's going to become a script or an alias. It's a pity that you can't set a default configuration for mount so that the above is the default when you say 'mount' but allows one to use mount normally otherwise. In the mount man page it says:- The listing mode is maintained for backward compatibility only. For more robust and customizable output use findmnt(8), especially in your scripts. However findmnt has the same problem as mount, it lists *everything*, I get:- TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS / /dev/sdb1 ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered ├─/sys sysfs sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime │ ├─/sys/kernel/security securityfs securityfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime │ ├─/sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs tmpfs ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=755 │ │ ├─/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd cgroup cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,xattr,release_agent=/lib/systemd/systemd-cgroups-agent,name=systemd │ │ ├─/sys/fs/cgroup/devices cgroup cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,devices │ │ ├─/sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event cgroup cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,perf_event │ │ ├─/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer cgroup cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,freezer │ │ ├─/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio cgroup cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,blkio │ │ ├─/sys/fs/cgroup/pids cgroup cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,pids │ │ ├─/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset cgroup cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuset │ │ ├─/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct cgroup cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpu,cpuacct │ │ ├─/sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls,net_prio cgroup cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,net_cls,net_prio │ │ ├─/sys/fs/cgroup/hugetlb cgroup cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,hugetlb │ │ └─/sys/fs/cgroup/memory cgroup cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,memory │ ├─/sys/fs/pstore pstore pstore rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime │ ├─/sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl fusectl rw,relatime │ └─/sys/kernel/debug debugfs debugfs rw,relatime │ └─/sys/kernel/debug/tracing tracefs tracefs rw,relatime ├─/proc proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime │ ├─/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc systemd-1 autofs rw,relatime,fd=24,pgrp=1,timeout=0,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct │ └─/proc/fs/nfsd nfsd nfsd rw,relatime ├─/dev udev devtmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,size=3992916k,nr_inodes=998229,mode=755 │ ├─/dev/pts devpts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 │ ├─/dev/shm tmpfs tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev │ ├─/dev/hugepages hugetlbfs hugetlbfs rw,relatime │ └─/dev/mqueue mqueue mqueue rw,relatime ├─/run tmpfs tmpfs rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=802488k,mode=755 │ ├─/run/lock tmpfs tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k │ ├─/run/rpc_pipefs sunrpc rpc_pipefs rw,relatime │ └─/run/user/1000 tmpfs tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=802488k,mode=700,uid=1000,gid=1000 │ └─/run/user/1000/gvfs gvfsd-fuse fuse.gvfsd-fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000 ├─/bak /dev/sdd1 ext3 rw,relatime,data=ordered ├─/home /dev/sdc1 ext3 rw,relatime,data=ordered ├─/win7 /dev/sda2 fuseblk rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096 ├─/media/chris/COMFAST_Driver /dev/sr0 iso9660 ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500 ├─/net -hosts autofs rw,relatime,fd=6,pgrp=3781,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect ├─/nfs /etc/auto.nfs autofs rw,relatime,fd=12,pgrp=3781,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect └─/tmp/music.mp3 mp3fs fuse.mp3fs ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000,allow_other I quite like the layout but I could do without all those cgroup entries in particular. However like mount findmnt doesn't have any way to filter the output with environment or configuration. -- Chris Green
