Can i find out when (i.e., the exact time) a disk last mounted to the system ? This way I may be able to figure out if somehow has unplugged my external drive and replug in later.

You can run:

Code:

dumpe2fs -h /dev/<devicaname>

Replace <devicename> with your partition (hda1, sda2 etc)

And it needs to be run as root.

Code:

dumpe2fs -h /dev/<devicaname>  | grep 'Last'

might winnow out stuff you aren't interested in.
