determining actual directory of a symlinked directory

Hello all,
I have files at /var/dir1/dir2/fil1.log etc.,.

dir2 is symlinked to /export/xxx/dir3


I am trying to monitor the disk space of the mount where these log files are present.
How do I determine dynamically the actual directory of the log files and corresponding mount when I use df command.

Thanks,
Chiru
