Test to see if a drive is mounted at a specific point
I have a script that backs up our storage drive daily to one external drive and weekly to another. What I'd like to do is find a way, in the script, to test whether the drives are mounted so that it doesn't accidentally fill up the main drive in the event of a drive failure, etc. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

You can use the df command to get the device associated with a mount.
Check your man page for df as it may not have the -v option I show in the example.

df -v /var |tail -1|awk '{print $2}'
