mount points
hi,
I believe a mount point does not have to be a physical disk, but rather a logical one? Is this correct? if so, how can I find out if my mount points are on different physical disks?
thanks

MKILL
Mkill - Send processes making a active mount point busy a signal
SYNOPSIS
mkill [-SIG] [-u] /mnt1 [/mnt2...]
mkill [-l]
DESCRIPTION
mkill determines all active mount points from /proc/mounts and compares this with the specified mount points. Then mkill seeks for pro-
cesses making this mount points busy. For this search only the links found in /proc/<pid>/ are used to avoid hangs on files provided by
network file systems like nfs(5). The default signal is SIGTERM for termination. If a mount point is not active, that is that it is not
found in /proc/mounts, mkill will do exactly nothing.
OPTIONS
-<SIG> Signals can be specified either by name (e.g. -HUP, -SIGHUP) or by number (e.g. -1).
-0 The special signal 0 force mkill to list all processes making the specified mount point busy.
-u Perform a lazy umount on the specified mount points before sending the signal SIGTERM or SIGKILL.
-l List all known signals.
EXAMPLES
mkill -TERM /var
This will terminate all processes accessing a seperate /var partition.
mkill -HUP /dev/pts
All processes using a pseudo-terminal slave will hangup.
RETURN VALUE
Always success which is that zero is returned.
