Pipe the output of df -P through "tail -n +2 | head -1". :-) That way, you don't have to care whether the mountpoint adds rubbish after a newline. As I understand it, you are going to apply df -P to a single file at a time only, so it's sure its filesystem name will always at the beginning of line 2. -- cheers, Joerg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
