(Sorry for the long time in getting back to everyone. Busy in other areas.) Yeah, that's good food for thought. Drieux had some pointers too. I can't just check for certain filesystems, I have to "know" what is mounted at a given time... But the fact that there is NFS server/ client game where they no longer make nice - well, I need to discover that before issuing the df cmd, methinks. I suppose I could check the log for error messages, but that is frought with other problems. Guess I'll need to keep mulling; maybe that ah-ha! moment will come to me soon...
