Device names of filesystems (works on Linux and Solaris, not AIX)

Hello, trying to collect filesystem information in analysis using:

device names of filesystems, which work on Linux and Solaris, but is returning nothing with AIX.

Q: name of operating system
A: Linux Red Hat Enterprise Server 6.6
T: 263

Q: device names of filesystems
A: /dev/mapper/rootvg-LogVol00
A: proc
A: sysfs
A: devpts
A: tmpfs
A: /dev/sda1
A: /dev/mapper/rootvg-LogVol01
A: /dev/mapper/rootvg-LogVol03
A: /dev/mapper/rootvg-LogVol02
A: /dev/mapper/rootvg-LogVol04
A: /dev/mapper/rootvg-LogVol06
A: none
A: sunrpc
T: 339

Q: version of client
A: 9.5.6.63

Q: name of operating system
A: AIX 7.2
T: 343

Q: device names of filesystems
T: 629

Q: version of client
A: 9.5.6.63
T: 352
Any suggestions?

AIX uses volumes. Simple relevance example:
(name of it, label of it | "N/A") of logical volumes of filesystems

Okay the documentation shows “device name of filesystem” is a valid property on both AIX and Linux, where logical volume property is not valid on Linux.

Q: properties of type "filesystem"
A: name of : string
A: volume of : string
A: size of : integer
A: total space of : integer
A: free space of : integer
A: used space of : integer
A: free percent of : integer
A: used percent of : integer
A: file count of : integer
A: free file count of : integer
A: used file count of : integer
A: logical volume of : logical volume
A: type of : string
A: mount point of : string
A: device name of : string
A: fstype of : string
A: filesystem type of : string
A: mount option of : string
A: block size of : integer
A: uuid of : string
T: 673

Q: name of operating system
A: AIX 7.2

Will see if logical volume info is enough.
Trying to find servers with any NFS client mounts. On Linux, device names of filesystems was giving info that could be used.

@jmcbride - thx for the suggestion - that does not seem to work on AIX - as you say in subject header.

Linux:

[root@t430 ~]# /opt/BESClient/bin/qna
Default masthead location, using /etc/opt/BESClient/actionsite.afxm
Q: device name of filesystem "/"
A: /dev/mapper/cl-root
T: 14706

Q: fstype of filesystem "/"
A: xfs
T: 881

On AIX:
name of filesystem "/"
A: /
T: 383

Q: fstype of filesystem "/"
E: Singular expression refers to nonexistent object.
T: 391

Q: device name of filesystem "/"
E: Singular expression refers to nonexistent object.
T: 385

Q: client
A: /opt/BESClient/bin/qna
T: 50203

Q: version of client
A: 9.5.14.73
T: 9515

  • Likewise - what I am looking for is a simple way to determine if a filesystem is NFS, or at least, not JFS2.
