Find out which partition a directory is located on in Linux?

Is there a way to find out which partition a directory is located in?

I know I can use df to list partitions and mount points but I need to be able to find out which partition any directory is located in with a simple command.


Solution 1:

df -h .

gives you:

$ df -h .
Filesystem     Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/disk0s2  1.4Ti  390Gi  1.0Ti    28%    /

so you have 'mounted on' for that dir

Solution 2:

[rajat@rajat ~]$ df -HT

Filesystem    Type     Size   Used  Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6     ext4      22G   7.4G    14G  36% /
tmpfs        tmpfs     1.1G   349k   1.1G   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1     ext3     200M    53M   137M  28% /boot

[rajat@rajat ~]$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6              20G  6.9G   13G  36% /
tmpfs                 987M  340K  986M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1             190M   50M  131M  28% /boot

cd /dev/sda
