I want to write a sh/bash script that can determine whether a particular directory is a mount point for an NFS filesystem.

    This question is effectively a dup of how-can-i-tell-if-a-file-is-on-a-remote-filesystem-with-perl

    The short answer is to use the stat command

    eg

    $ stat -f -L -c %T localdir ext2/ext3 $ stat -f -L -c %T remotedir nfs 

    Then a directory is an NFS mount point if its type is ‘nfs’ and its parent directory isn’t.
