I'd not heard of either `mountpoint` or `findmnt` before. I see they're both part of util-linux, so I guess as likely as each other to be available (which is one criterion I would use for choosing)

The approach I would have used (and it's not infallible) is

test -f /mnt/usb-drive-b/.some-file where '.some-file' exists on the device but not on the empty mount point.
