whats is the command in centos to see where /var /etc/ /proc/ and all those directories are mounted.. i know they are on /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 but i need the a command to show me that... thanks
 
wouldn't a simple 'df' command provide you this info
 
Try just issuing a "mount" command with no options. It should list of the mount points.
 

I suspect you want this for a script?

what you want is to traverse the filesystem to find where a directory is located. "df /var" WILL give you that value because df must figure out which filesystem a path is located. "df -P /var" will give it Posix format which is easier to parse.
 
Depending on how your disks were partitioned, /var might not be a separate file partition and may be included under the / partition.

Check the /etc/fstab which contains static information about the filesystems. If /var is not listed in that file, then /var is not a mounted filesystem, but is part of the root or / partition.
