How to identify if a partition containing a btrfs volume is mounted and where
Hi,
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, but if the
mounting device was removed from the file system this linkage is
broken.
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdb4
# mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/1
# btrfs device delete /dev/sdb2 /mnt/1
So /dev/sdb2 is no longer part of the file system, but it's still
mounted using it.
# grep btrfs /proc/mounts
/dev/sdb2 /mnt/1 btrfs rw,seclabel,relatime,ssd,space_cache 0 0
# btrfs filesystem show /dev/sdb3
Label: none uuid: d1e98472-e562-466c-8fa4-ddcaee757c20
Total devices 2 FS bytes used 156.00KB
devid 3 size 2.00GB used 961.56MB path /dev/sdb4
devid 2 size 2.00GB used 552.00MB path /dev/sdb3
So in there a way to determine whether a specific partition containing
a btrfs volume is mounted and on what mount point?
Thanks,
Mike
