That would be a "whence" command (which used to exist in
some forms of UNIX and even in the old Yggdrasil distributions).
If you're using an RPM based system such as Red Hat, S.u.S.E.
Turbolinux, etc, then you can use the following command to find
the "owner" or "provider" of a given file:
rpm -qf $FILEPATH
Note that this should use the full name of the file. So
in your case try:
rpm -qf $( which mount )
... (you can use backticks for the $(...) expression, this is
just a less ambiguous syntax under most fonts).
On a dpkg (Debian-based) system such as Debian, Corel, Stormix,
Libranet etc, then you can use the following command:
dpkg -S $FILEPATH
... or you can simply do a grep -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list
