[GNU/Linux] obtaining a filesystem-relative filename


	Do I understand it correctly that to obtain a

	filesystem-relative filename (such as: jrh/foo for /home/jrh/foo

	when /home is on a separate filesystem), I need to resolve all

	the symbolic links first, and then to check /etc/mtab for a

	prefix matching the filename in question?  The filename is then

	stripped of the prefix found.

	I guess that I should double-check that the device mentioned in

	/etc/mtab matches the st_rdev number (as per stat(2))?
