Marcus,
Lets say that your full path name for the file is
'usr/local/bin/xyz'. Do a 'df'. This will show you all the filesystems
that exist on your system. The filesystem with the closest match contains
your file.
For example, if you have two filesystems '/usr' and '/usr/local',
then the /usr/local filesystem contains your file. The 'df' command shows
you which partition the filesystem in on, and that is your answer.

There is no such thing as luck. 'Luck' is nothing but an absence of bad luck.
