How to tell what file system type I have?

I find it much simpler just to type "mount" with no options.
Also the filesystem types would be listed in the /etc/fstab file as well.

Here are the results:



[joe at localhost ~]$ df -h

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/sda1              12G  5.7G  5.6G  51% /

tmpfs                 473M     0  473M   0% /dev/shm

/dev/sda6             168G   23G  146G  14% /home

[joe at localhost ~]$ fdisk -l

[joe at localhost ~]$



I'm trying to find out if the file system is ext3 or ext4.
