Find out want partition a directory is located on in Linux?

Question

Is there a way to find out what partition a directory in located in?

I know I can use df to list partitions and mount points but I need to be able to find out what partition any directory is located in with a simple command.

Answer 1

df -h .

gives you:

$ df -h .
Filesystem     Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/disk0s2  1.4Ti  390Gi  1.0Ti    28%    /

so you have 'mounted on' for that dir

Answer 2

take a look at this post on serverfault. it should give you all the information you need.
