Is there anything simpler or more direct than my solution below?df -h FILE |tail -1 | awk -F% '{print $NF}' | tr -d ' 'A similar question Is there a command to see where a disk is mounted? uses the current disk's device node as input, and not an arbitrary file from the disk ...
How to get mount point of filesystem containing given file
shell;filesystems;mount
You could do something likedf -P FILE | awk 'NR==2{print $NF}'or evendf -P FILE | awk 'END{print $NF}'Since awk splits on whitespace(s) by default, you don't need to specify the -F and you also don't need to trim the whitespace with tr. Finally, by specifying the line number of interest (NR==2) you can also do away with tail.
