On *nix, you can always figure out what type of filesystem is mounted at a given prefix by typing `mount`.
What the use of schemes does is make things needlessly inflexible, and embeds a dependency on the name of a filesystem provider inside consumers of that filesystem. It's akin to a Unix where filesystems can only be mounted in top-level directories /mnt, but not /mnt/foo, etc.; I don't see the appeal.
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoI prefer to use `df -T /path/to/mount`, personally.
- vageli 7y ago> I prefer to use `df -T /path/to/mount`, personally. Why?
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoLets me specify a single file system; I don't think `mount` does that (unless I'm blind; possible).
- vageli 7y agoMount lets you do this as well. mount -t type device destination_dir Unless I am missing something in your use case.
