Answer from AI
In Linux, information about current filesystem mount points is usually stored in the /proc/mounts file. This file contains a list of all mounted filesystems at the moment, including devices, mount points, filesystem types, and mount options.
The /etc/mtab file is also often used, which traditionally contained information about mounts, but in modern systems, it may be a symbolic link to /proc/mounts.
To view the mount points, you can use the command:
cat /proc/mounts
or
mount
which displays the current mounts in a human-readable format.
