Well, I can't say that it will work everywhere, but...

% df /usr/jeff/.cshrc

Filesystem    kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ds00a    228422  156238   49341    76%    /

And...

% df /usr2/src/jeff/src

Filesystem    kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ds06a    274074  220359   26307    89%    /usr2


If you really enjoy pain (:-)  You can use "stat" and look at st_dev.
