How to get all the mount point information for android device?

Question

How do I get all the mount point information for an Android device programmatically?

Answer 1

Not exactly part of the android apis, but the underlying linux will tell you about the ones that are in use if you read /proc/mounts

As a clarification, in later Android versions Linux's ability to have unique mounts for each process ancestry is leveraged, so the mounts seen by an application process can (and typically will) be different than those seen by something launched from ADB, or a core system process.

Answer 2

/proc/mtd

or on other phones:

/proc/emmc

This will show all the partitions and their names - which may or may not currently be mounted.

Answer 3

adb shell df -h

Example

  Filesystem      Size  Used Avail   Use%   Mounted on
  tmpfs           3.6G  1.1M  3.6G     1%   /dev
  tmpfs           3.6G     0  3.6G     0%   /mnt

             

Answer 4

this worked with my samsung j5

adb shell df -h

Answer 5

You can see the partitions known to the system by examining /proc/partitions. From my HTC Desire:

major minor  #blocks  name

  31        0        640 mtdblock0
  31        1       4608 mtdblock1
  31        2       3072 mtdblock2
  31        3     256000 mtdblock3
  31        4      40960 mtdblock4
  31        5     151168 mtdblock5
 179        0    3872256 mmcblk0
 179        1    2872070 mmcblk0p1
 179        2    1000185 mmcblk0p2

The mtdblock devices are the phone's internal flash storage. mmcblk0 is the phone's SD card.

The best way to see what is mounted where is to examine /proc/self/mountinfo. This is better than /proc/mounts because the latter misses certain information. Again, on my HTC Desire (I added column headings and ran the output through column -s for good measure):

ID  PARENT  BLOCK  ROOT              MOUNTPOINT                   OPTIONS                             -  TYPE     SOURCE                 SUPEROPTS
