How to check boot path (partition) in Linux

To check the boot path (partition) on a Linux system, you can use the findmnt command.

Here's an example of how to use findmnt to display the boot partition:

$ findmnt --target /boot

This will display the mount point and device of the partition that contains the /boot directory.

You can also use the df command to display the boot partition. Here's an example:

$ df -h /boot

This will display the mount point and size of the partition that contains the /boot directory.

Note: The specific options and syntax for these commands may vary depending on your Linux distribution and version. Consult the findmnt and df man pages or documentation for your system for more information.

It's also important to note that the boot partition may be located on a separate physical device, such as a USB drive or network file system, rather than on the main hard drive. In this case, the findmnt and df commands will show the mount point and device of the boot device, rather than the boot partition.
