Re: How to identify if a partition containing a btrfs volume is mounted and where

 Thanks Hugo for the heads-up.

I am trying to enhance GParted (http://www.gparted.org/) to better
support btrfs, specifically multi-device ones.  GParted displays the
busy status (mounted or not) and the mount point of each partition.

For a single device file system this is easy.  Entry in /proc/mounts
for the partition identifies it's mounted and provides the mount
point.

In the general case for btrfs I don't know how to get from device name
containing a btrfs volume to knowing if it's mounted and where?
::
btrfs filesystem show can identify the devices in a btrfs,

 if its not for the final sync-up, I had posted a patch which shows
 mount-point in the btrfs fi show -m output that should help you as
 of now, I have plans of revising it later and make it integration
 ready.

 This bug isn't there is the current btrfs-next. I couldn't
 reproduce.


    Anand posted some kernel patches for an ioctl a few weeks ago that
would allow you to get hold of the kernel's UUID<->device mapping.

 yes btrfs-devlist is WIP. As of now I am looking for some help
 as in here:

  OR

 Team, Any help ? Thanks.

Anand
