You can use the "file" command: [jkeating@xxxxx jkeating]$ file /mnt /mnt: directory Or you can do an ls -al of it, and see if it has the "d" attribute: [jkeating@xxxxx jkeating]$ ls -al /mnt total 44 drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Apr 10 09:52 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Apr 21 08:48 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 21 14:44 cdrom You'll notice that .
