mount table
The list of file systems mounted right now, which the kernel publishes in /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab links to.
In more detail
findmnt prints it as a tree and can show one mount point. Unlike /etc/fstab it describes the present, not what mounts at boot.

- /etc/fstab — The file that lists what to mount at boot: device, mount point, type, options and two numbers per line.
