How to check whether file system is local or NFS?
Hi, suppose I have file system path say /foo/bar/baz then how would I find out whether it is local file system or NFS? If it is NFS then I want to find out the host where file system is located.

Thanks,
Paresh

Dude,
you should use showmount -e <server-name> to find out list of exported files from the server.

another thing is that it depends on which OS you are asking...it differes on OS to OS
