To check the file system mounting situation in a Linux system, you can use the following command:

  1. The “df” command can be used to view the disk space usage of the file system and mount points.
df -h

This command will display the disk space usage of the file system in a human-readable format, including the file system type, total size, used space, available space, usage rate, and mount point.

  1. The “mount” command can be used to view the file systems that are currently mounted in the system.
mount

This command will display detailed information about the file systems currently mounted in the system, including the type of file system, mount point, and mount options.

  1. The cat command (/etc/mtab file): can be used to view all currently mounted filesystems in the system.
cat /etc/mtab

This command displays the contents of the /etc/mtab file, which contains detailed information about all currently mounted file systems in the system.

  1. The lsblk command allows you to view the block devices in the system and their associated mount points.
lsblk

This command will display a tree-like structure of the block devices in the system and their associated mount points, including device name, device type, size, mount point, etc.

The above command can be used based on specific needs to check the mounting status of file systems in a Linux system.
