A couple of days ago, I was asked how to check the last mount time of the ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem. The solution is straightforward as it does not require anything more then tune2fs utility.

$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/enc-root  | grep "Last\|created"
Last mounted on:          /
Filesystem created:       Sat Aug  3 16:11:50 2013
Last mount time:          Fri Aug 30 21:04:14 2013
Last write time:          Fri Aug 30 21:04:14 2013
Last checked:             Sat Aug  3 16:11:50 2013

Pretty print mounted devices:

$ mount | awk '/dev.*ext/ {print $1}' | xargs -I DEVICE sh -c '{ mount | grep DEVICE | awk "{ print "----- device " $1 " mounted on " $3 }"; sudo tune2fs -l DEVICE | grep "Last|created"; }'
----- device /dev/mapper/enc-root mounted on /
Last mounted on:          /
Filesystem created:       Sat Aug  3 16:11:50 2013
Last mount time:          Fri Aug 30 21:04:14 2013
Last write time:          Fri Aug 30 21:04:14 2013
Last checked:             Sat Aug  3 16:11:50 2013
----- device /dev/sdb1 mounted on /media/3927ea4d-b079-407e-9151-f0a9f97b5640
Last mounted on:          <not available>
Filesystem created:       Wed Jun 19 20:12:47 2013
Last mount time:          n/a
Last write time:          Sun Sep  1 23:57:52 2013
Last checked:             Wed Jun 19 20:12:47 2013
Notice the sudo command in the above example.
