Use cmdline utility "mount" with no arguments. Or, "cat /proc/mounts". > Does your suggested command work on all Linux distributions (Debian, Redhat,...) or even Solaris? 'mount' works for all Linux and for Solaris and Mac OS X. /proc is specific to Linux. > Assume I mount a second hard disc. > Can this second filesystem different from the filesystem of the first ("Main") hard disc? Yes. > Can filesystems be diffent even between partitions on the SAME hard disc? Yes. --

It has an ext3 linux partition, an ntfs windows partition, a fat 32 partition and a linux swap partition, all on one disc. That probably means yes. Rgds Denis
