How many mount point in Linux?

Linux can handle 1000s of mounts, in fact I have seen 12000 simultaneous automounts happen on SL7. 3 (based on centos).

How do you list all mount points in Linux?

You can compare the current mount list ( /etc/mtab ) to the list of shares registered to be mounted though ( /etc/fstab ). Alternatively you could try to grep through the system log files to find failed mount attempts. You can use mount -a to mount all the mount points defined in the fstab .
