I've thought a bit about this.

Perhaps the best way to do this is:
(1) for each entry in /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts, run stat().  Also,
stat "/".
(2) for the partition, figure out one of it's corresponding devices,
and run stat() on it.

If anything from (1) matches with (2), then there it is mounted.

This deals with the case where /proc/mounts lists entries in a devfs
form, and Parted is invoked in a traditional manner.

Sound good?

It also has the advantage of being very easy to implement :)

Cheers,
Andrew
