Re^2: file remote or local

You really want to check dev which is $dev = (stat("/file/to/check"))[0];. Compare the value with the value for the remote filesystem's mountpoint.

And you can get a list of mountpoints from `/etc/mtab`, figure out their type from the 3rd column, `stat` the filesystem root for the ones you determine are remote, then see if the device number from the above `stat` call is one of the remote ones.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

On our solaris systems local filesystems have a device like 800000xh and remote like 45c14xxh. I've not checked all and your experience may vary. x in examples is varying data.	[reply]
