Is there a command to show which btrfs subvolumes are mounted on each mountpoint?

Alternatively, is there somewhere (e.g. in the /proc or /sys trees) where the information can be read?

The output from the df command simply shows the filesystem's root device and /etc/mtab (aka /proc/mounts) doesn't contain the subvol=... option.

  • excellent! mount doesn't contain the subvol=... option, either.

  • @user1902689: I don't understand your comment. If I mount a btrfs subvolume using mount -tbtrfs -osubvol=home,compress=zlib,autodefrag,recovery /dev/sdc /home then /etc/mtab contains a line /dev/sdc /home btrfs rw,relatime,compress=zlib,space_cache,autodefrag,recovery 0 0. The subvol=... option isn't included. What are you referring to?

findmnt -nt btrfs, the source subvolume is in [...], the mountpoint is the first column. Alternatively, you could look into the file /proc/self/mountinfo yourself.

    thanks! - didn't know about findmnt. (I use mount | grep btrfs per answer below.)

    Thanks. For those like me that land here via google looking for a way to just list the mountpoints using btrfs, just add the --output TARGET parameter: findmnt -nt btrfs --output TARGET

On older systems that don't have the nicely-formatted findmnt command, just run mount with no arguments. It will spit out a list of devices, mountpoints, types and options. Pipe it to grep for btrfs if you want to filter it down for easy reading.
