Easier
which <programname>
df <program's path from the which results>

eg
[YYYY@XX ~]$ which Mail
/usr/bin/Mail
[YYYY@XX ~]$ df /usr/bin
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda9              5044156   2351092   2436832  50% /usr
[YYYY@XX ~]$

This has the handy side effect of telling you some additional useful data.
