in reply to Network Drive?

I think if you ran the df command that might give you the information you needed -- either it leads with /dev or /mnt and it's local, or it's something else and it's a network drive.

That's a not a cut-and-dried solution, but it might get you started.

    Have you read the source for df and mount to see how they do it? Then presumably you could take that little snippet of C and wrap it up in a module. You may need to make the C bit platform-specific.
