This is a newbie question :).

How can I find out the real path to a directory on Solaris. If I have a directory which shows up as

/xyz/homex/myhome

what is fully qualified name for it, that looks like:

//server/blah/home/xyz/homex/myhome

Not sure if I understand the question. Are you trying to determine to which mountpoint a directory underneath belongs to? In that case just do 'df'

I did say it was a newbie question :). Thanks Pat, that did answer my question.
