how to find out file system type

Hello,

What's the command to find out the type of a mounted file system (ext2 or ext3)?

Thanks a lot for your help.

I think "fdisk -l" will provide the information you want.

Perhaps "fdisk -l |more" would be best, as there tends to be a lot of stuff that zooms by

yea what he vsaid but it may require sudo so it will look like

sudo fdisk -l |more

thats -l as in --list and the other thing is hold shift and hit \

The mount command without arguments lists all mounted filesystems along with their type.
