Is there any quick way (in user mode) to find out if a file is remote mounted on an NFS file system? We have a way of finding out the name of the host using the same algorithm as df(1) however this is quite slow. Is there anything magic about the st_dev value returned by stat(2) that indicates that the file is remote mounted? If there is, can we be sure that this will not change from implementation to implementation? We are mainly concerned with Sun and Gould versions of NFS. Any help in this area would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. kevin@memex.co.uk
