RE: Finding out what partition/device a file is on?
Greetings,
Well, this sounds like a very odd situation, but the 'df' command with the
local directory should help:
debian:/usr/local/src$ df ./
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda4 5216348 634052 4317320 13% /usr
HTH,
Brooks
