No because there are a lot of influences. Cause you can try to parse the
mountpoint, but that will not catch other restrictions like ACLs, Labels and
so on. The most easiest thing is to open the file for write, and perhaps
even try to write to it. Be aware that it might be in append only or copy on
write mode.
