A 'df' shows what is mounted or virtual, and 'find' has '-local' . . . .

Depends on the type of SAN, FC cards, whether multipathd is being used, etc.

You can try a few things. Run lspci and check for HBAs. Check dmesg. Specific things - check for kernel modules loaded for your HBA, check your multipathd config, etc. Some specific HBAs/fabric setups have their own drivers/software (PowerPath for EMC, SanSurfer for QLogic). Check with your storage admins.

Mostly, the nature of nfs or other mount system storage and more proprietary fiber network attachments makes it both nonportable and opaque!
