You could also use
$ mount | -column -t
This displays all mounted devices along with their mount point sorted nicely in columns. Makes it easier to read.
You can achieve the same with the df-command though:
$ df -PhT | sort -nk6
This prints all partitions currently mounted, sorted by the percentage the partition space is used in ascending order (the option -nk 6 does that, it sort the 6th column, witch usage in percent)
The option 'T' means it displays the respective file systems, too, for each partition. Leaving that out, you would have the change to command to:
$ df -Ph | sort -nk5
in order to get same sorting according to disk usage.
Note: You do not need root permission to execute the commands mentioned above.

Do you create symlinks to the data partition so you do not have the specify the unusual place where your files get saved?
