Hi!
----
While crawling through the AST sources I found the following line in
"libast/common/features/fs":
-- snip --
#define FS_default "ufs"
-- snip --
This may be only partially correct (since Solaris may switch to "zfs" as
default OS in the near future (and there are other alternatives such as
"qfs", too)). default_fs(4) in Solaris says the following:
-- snip --
File Formats default_fs(4)
NAME
default_fs, fs - specify the default file system type for
local or remote file systems
DESCRIPTION
When file system administration commands have both specific
and generic components (for example, fsck(1M)), the file
system type must be specified. If it is not explicitly
specified using the -F FSType command line option, the gen-
eric command looks in /etc/vfstab in order to determine the
file system type, using the supplied raw or block device or
mount point. If the file system type can not be determined
by searching /etc/vfstab, the command will use the default
file system type specified in either /etc/default/fs or
/etc/dfs/dfstypes, depending on whether the file system is
local or remote.
The default local file system type is specified in
/etc/default/fs by a line of the form LOCAL=fstype (for
example, LOCAL=ufs). The default remote file system type is
determined by the first entry in the /etc/dfs/fstypes file.
File system administration commands will determine whether
the file system is local or remote by examining the speci-
fied device name. If the device name starts with ``/''
(slash), it is considered to be local; otherwise it is
remote.
The default file system types can be changed by editing the
default files with a text editor.
FILES
/etc/vfstab list of default parameters for each
file system
/etc/default/fs the default local file system type
/etc/dfs/fstypes the default remote file system type
SEE ALSO
fsck(1M), fstypes(4), vfstab(4)

The only problem is that I can't find a public API to obtain these
values... does anyone have a clue how this could be done ?

Bye,
