Re: How to tell what file system type I have?

I have slackware running on this beast and cat /etc/mtab worked for me.

delboy@ladmo:~$ cat /etc/mtab
/dev/sdb4 / ext4 rw,commit=0 0 0
/dev/sda1 /home/delboy ext4 rw,commit=0 0 0
/dev/sdb3 /mnt/sdb3 ext4 rw,commit=0 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /home/delboy/sdc1 ext4 rw 0 0

In the above I edited out some other stuff, but this shows the
partitions that are mounted and the file system of each. All the
partitions on this machine are ext4, but many options are possible.

Also a partition editor tool such as gparted will show you all the
partitions on your hard drives and what file system each one is
formatted with. This includes file systems that may not be mounted.
