A df won't tell but depending on your OS...you can follow the chain of Filesystem to Logical Volume to Volume group/Physical Volume.

Once you get the phsical volume you can map that to SAN or local drives (in EMC this command is in the symcli command suite)...you can use something like symdev to list all the EMC drives,etc...

Haven't done it for awhile but that's the process I used...others may have easier methods...

Thanks!

Subject: Using SAN or local drives?

By using df -k, how can I tell whether a system is using a SAN device versus
having everything on local drives? If it is all logical drives, wouldn't
all of the mount points start out with something like /dev/lvm0/ and then be sliced up among Logical Volumes?
