How to List Mounted Drives on Linux
In this tutorial, I will show you the different ways to list mounted drives on Linux. We can use mount, findmnt, and df commands to list mounted device any Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Centos.
In Linux, mount command mounts a storage device or filesystem, and let’s go through commands that can display all those mounts.
1. Listing from /proc using cat command
To list mount points you can read contents of the file /proc/mounts.
In the following example, I have used cat command to read the /proc/mounts file:
2. Using Mount Command
You can use mount command to list mount points. When you run mount command without any options it will list mount points.
3. Using df command
You can use df command to list mount points.
The following command shows the output of df with -aTh option:
You can use -t followed by filesystem type (say ext3, ext4, nfs) to display respective mount points. For examples below df command display all NFS mount points.
4. Using findmnt
Findmnt is a powerful tool to find mounted filesystems. This command comes with lots of options to list mount filesystems.
The following command print all mounted filesystems:
Print mount point by specific filesystem type:
Search and list fstab contents:
Display all /etc/fstab file and converts LABEL= and UUID= tags to the real device names:
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we learned commands to list mounted drives or filesystems on Linux. I hope you enjoyed reading and please leave your suggestion in the comment section.

How do I find out what hard disks are in the system?
I need to know what hard disks are available, including ones that aren’t mounted and possibly aren’t formatted. I can’t find them in dmesg or /var/log/messages (too much to scroll through). I’m hoping there’s a way to use /dev or /proc to find out this information, but I don’t know how. I am using Linux.

This is highly platform-dependent. Also different methods may treat edge cases differently (“fake” disks of various kinds, RAID volumes, …).
On modern udev installations, there are symbolic links to storage media in subdirectories of /dev/disk , that let you look up a disk or a partition by serial number ( /dev/disk/by-id/ ), by UUID ( /dev/disk/by-uuid ), by filesystem label ( /dev/disk/by-label/ ) or by hardware connectivity ( /dev/disk/by-path/ ).
Under Linux 2.6, each disk and disk-like device has an entry in /sys/block . Under Linux since the dawn of time, disks and partitions are listed in /proc/partitions . Alternatively, you can use lshw: lshw -class disk .
Linux also provides the lsblk utility which displays a nice tree view of the storage volumes (since util-linux 2.19, not present on embedded devices with BusyBox).
If you have an fdisk or disklabel utility, it might be able to tell you what devices it’s able to work on.
You will find utility names for many unix variants on the Rosetta Stone for Unix, in particular the “list hardware configuration” and “read a disk label” lines.
