It may require your password to function. You will decide what sort of filesystem it is. Therefore, try executing the below cat command in the shell. We have done all the commands to check the mounted filesystem. I hope you can easily check the mounted filesystem in your Linux distribution.

Bobak You actually have something mounted at the time you ran the 'mountpoint' command? Even if it's intended to be a mountpoint, unless it actually has something mounted, it's just a directory.
It's been in Ubuntu since 8. As mentioned in another comment mountpoint doesn't work with bind mounts. The snippet will mount the dir multiple times — csanchez.

If you try to run fsck on a mounted disk or partition, you will get a warning:. Note that you cannot unmount root filesystems. More on that towards the end of the guide.
Now that you unmounted the disk, you can run fsck. To check the second disk, enter:. The above example shows the output for a clean disk. If there are multiple issues on your disk, a prompt appears for each one where you have to confirm the action. Before you perform a live check, you can do a test run with fsck. Pass the -N option to the fsck command to perform a test:. To try to fix potential problems without getting any prompts, pass the -y option to fsck. If no errors are found, the output looks the same as without the -y option.
Use the -n option if you want to check potential error on a file system without repairing them. We have a second drive sdb with some journaling errors. The -n flag prints the error without fixing it:. When you perform a fsck on a clean device, the tool skips the filesystem check. If you want to force the filesystem check, use the -f option. The scan will perform all five checks to search for corruptions even when it thinks there are no issues.
If you want to perform a check on all filesystems with fsck in one go, pass the -A flag. To make sure you do not try to run fsck on a mounted filesystem, add the -M option. This flag tells the fsck tool to skip any mounted filesystems. I also wouldn't recommend linking to the infamous "Advanced" Bash scripting guide, it's full of errors and will teach people to write bugs, not scripts. BashGuide is a far better alternative.

If, however, you'd like to merge the accounts, let me know by flagging this comment and we'll reach out to the Stack Exchange team. Thank you! Note that for encfs, findmnt has to be supplied with the parameter --source encfs , otherwise it will always consider the directory to be mounted because it falls back to the parent mount. Good answer ; in fact should be the correct answer.
