24.4.3. Using the findmnt Command

The findmnt command allows you to display a list of currently mounted file systems. To do so, type the following at a shell prompt:
findmnt
For each listed file system, the findmnt command displays the target mount point (TARGET), source device (SOURCE), file system type (FSTYPE), and relevant mount options (OPTIONS). For example:
~]$ findmnt
TARGET                       SOURCE                     FSTYPE   OPTIONS
/                            /dev/mapper/vg_kvm-lv_root ext4     rw,relatime,sec
|-/proc                      /proc                      proc     rw,relatime
| |-/proc/bus/usb            /proc/bus/usb              usbfs    rw,relatime
| `-/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc                            binfmt_m rw,relatime
|-/sys                       /sys                       sysfs    rw,relatime,sec
|-/selinux                                              selinuxf rw,relatime
|-/dev                       udev                       devtmpfs rw,relatime,sec
| `-/dev                     udev                       devtmpfs rw,relatime,sec
|   |-/dev/pts               devpts                     devpts   rw,relatime,sec
|   `-/dev/shm               tmpfs                      tmpfs    rw,relatime,sec
|-/boot                      /dev/vda1                  ext4     rw,relatime,sec
|-/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs    sunrpc                     rpc_pipe rw,relatime
|-/misc                      /etc/auto.misc             autofs   rw,relatime,fd=
`-/net                       -hosts                     autofs   rw,relatime,fd=

By default, findmnt lists file systems in a tree-like format. To display the information as an ordinary list, add the -l command-line option:
findmnt -l
For instance:
~]$ findmnt -l
TARGET                   SOURCE                     FSTYPE   OPTIONS
/proc                    /proc                      proc     rw,relatime
/sys                     /sys                       sysfs    rw,relatime,seclabe
/dev                     udev                       devtmpfs rw,relatime,seclabe
/dev/pts                 devpts                     devpts   rw,relatime,seclabe
/dev/shm                 tmpfs                      tmpfs    rw,relatime,seclabe
/                        /dev/mapper/vg_kvm-lv_root ext4     rw,relatime,seclabe
/selinux                                            selinuxf rw,relatime
/dev                     udev                       devtmpfs rw,relatime,seclabe
/proc/bus/usb            /proc/bus/usb              usbfs    rw,relatime
/boot                    /dev/vda1                  ext4     rw,relatime,seclabe
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc                            binfmt_m rw,relatime
/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs  sunrpc                     rpc_pipe rw,relatime
/misc                    /etc/auto.misc             autofs   rw,relatime,fd=7,pg
/net                     -hosts                     autofs   rw,relatime,fd=13,p

You can also choose to list only file systems of a particular type. To do so, add the -t command-line option followed by a file system type:
findmnt -t type
For example, to list all ext4 file systems, type:
~]$ findmnt -t ext4
TARGET SOURCE                     FSTYPE OPTIONS
/      /dev/mapper/vg_kvm-lv_root ext4   rw,relatime,seclabel,barrier=1,data=ord
/boot  /dev/vda1                  ext4   rw,relatime,seclabel,barrier=1,data=ord
For a complete list of available command-line options, see the findmnt(8) manual page.
