If you're sure it's a Linux system, fine. Like /etc/mtab, this isn't portable. Looking at some of the systems we have here: Linux -- systems from Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 through SuSE 10.0, have /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab. FreeBSD 4.8 Stable -- has /proc file system, but no /proc/mounts, and no /etc/mtab (yeah 4.8 is out of date, but it's been up 632 days and I want to see how long it will stay up :-). OS X 10.4.5 (Tiger) -- no /proc/mounts or /etc/fstab SCO OpenServer 5.0.6a -- no /proc/mounts or /etc/fstab All of these systems have the gnu gdf which returns information in the same format.
