That might be fine for mount points and mountable devices, but how
could you accurately determine the filesystem type for an arbitrary
directory like $HOME/.wine/drive_c?
Expand it (eg. $HOME -> /home/<user>), resolve all symlinks, then see which
active mount points that falls into. The mount point with the longest name
would then be the mount point/partition to use. Eg:
Drive path for C:
$HOME/.wine/dosdrives/c: -> /home/user/.wine/dosdrives/c: ->
/home/user/.wine/drive_c
Available fs mount points:
/ -> /dev/sda3
/home -> /dev/sda4
/boot -> /dev/sda1
/mnt/cdrom -> /dev/hda1
Matching mount points that /home/user/.wine/drive_c exists in and are active:
/
/home
Mount point with the longest name:
/home
Thus, C: is on /home, which is /dev/sda4.
Easier said than done. Care to write and submit a patch? :)
Well, a 'df -T /home/user/.wine/drive_c' shows you the mountpoint and filesystem
type (on Linux that is, not sure if '-T' is available in *nix).
Even 'df -T /home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c:' will give you the correct mountpoint
and filesystem type.
