Why don't you ask Rick what his solution was?

Better...please read the LQ Rules about posting the same question more than once, and about posting verbatim homework questions. We'll HELP you, but you have to show effort of your own.

Try

Code:

mount

Code:

df -h

IDK what is in ricks' /etc/fstab, but mine here does not have a 7th field, so

Code:

cat /etc/fstab | egrep -v ^#' awk '{ print $7 }

is wrong, Wrong, WRONG, It's missing a pipe and a closing single tick on the awk.
cat <something> | grep <something> is wasting keystrokes.
Try

Code:

grep -v ^# /etc/fstab

and work out from there.

Let us know.

No it doesn't, it's wrong all over the place. For one you STILL don't have the pipe that Habitual mentioned, and two there is no seventh column in /etc/fstab (the mount point is the second column). Here is the output of your command (with the pipe added in where it's supposed to be) on my machine:

Code:

$ cat /etc/fstab | awk '{ print $7 }'

mount(8)

It's just pulling out the seventh word from some of the comment lines.

Since you haven't shown you trying

Code:

grep -v ^# /etc/fstab

with some "| awk" (work out from there)
I am done.
Ask Rick.
His code sucks and you can tell him I said so.

Check out

Code:

man findmnt
