    No, unfortunately, I don't need to know the name of the partition. I only need to know the device name itself. Commented Aug 10 at 17:41

    The device is where a directory is mounted. At the Linux level, you know the directory name; that + findmnt is how you find the device name. Unless there's something you're leaving out / not telling us. Commented Aug 10 at 17:44
