The df and mount methods above will mirror back ext4: $ df -Th /tmp/mnt*įilesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on If you don’t realize this and nevertheless mount it as ext4. Will create a ext2 filesystem on image1, if its not big enough (warning “Filesystem too small for a journal” means a filesystem without a journal, a.k.a. Do you know of any method not mentioned here? Share it with us in the comments. That’s it! In this guide, we explained seven ways to identify your Linux file system type. The /etc/fstab is a static file system info (such as mount point, file system type, mount options etc) file: $ cat /etc/fstab Using file Commandįile command identifies file type, the -s flag enables reading of block or character files and -L enables following of symlinks: $ sudo file -sL /dev/sda3įile – Identifies Filesystem Type 7. Using blkid Commandīlkid command is used to find or print block device properties, simply specify the disk partition as an argument like so: $ blkid /dev/sda3īlkid – Find Filesystem Type 6. When run without any arguments, it prints info about disk partitions including the file system type as below: $ mount | grep "^/dev"
#FUSE EXT2 LINUX MINT ISO#
Mount command is used to mount a file system in Linux, it can also be used to mount an ISO image, mount remote Linux filesystem and so much more. Lsblk displays block devices, when used with the -f option, it prints file system type on partitions as well: $ lsblk -f The flag -N disables checking of file system for errors, it just shows what would be done (but all we need is the file system type): $ fsck -N /dev/sda3įsck – Print Linux Filesystem Type 3.
Fsck is used to check and optionally repair Linux file systems, it can also print the file system type on specified disk partitions.
