Wednesday, August 19th, 2009Bash script: effectively check if a filesystem is mounted
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009Whenever you want to check if a file system is mounted and perform some action in you script based on this, the simplest and most accurate way to do it in Linux is to check /proc/mounts:
if grep -qs ‘/mnt/sda2′ /proc/mounts; then
echo “fs mounted”
else
echo “fs not mounted”
fi
