You could try mount
.
If you have something you'd like to do but don't know what command to use to do it, use the apropos
command:
apropos mount
The mount
command is the first one listed on my OpenBSD system.
Reading its manual:
The system maintains a list of currently mounted file systems. If no arguments are given to
mount
, this list is printed.

There are more than one possibility for that. I prefer: (as root or with sudo
)
lsblk -f
. It shows the device name, the filesystem, the UUID, and the mount point, and is well formated to read it. You can simply use mount
but this shows also the virtual filesystems like /proc
, /sys
, /tmpfs
and so on.

mount
command and see the page-long crap what you get back. Yes, this question is dupe, but it is not a bad question. – peterh Oct 09 '17 at 01:58
