Get 'unc' path in OSX of mounted share


In python I am trying to get the 'unc' path or server path of a mounted share. So I have a mounted share of:

/Volumes/D

How do I resolve to this with Python:

//192.168.0.7/D

Cheers.


Solution

  • After looking into df, I came up with this which works excellent on OSX:

    from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
    
    df = Popen('df -P /Volumes/link/to/some/folder', shell=True, stdout=PIPE)
    serverAddress = df.stdout.readlines()[1:][0]
    serverAddress = serverAddress.split('@')[1]
    serverAddress = serverAddress.split('/')[0]
    print serverAddress
