Hi Pankaj,
if you've got an image file called somefs.img you
should be able to do:
file somefs.img
If you've got a block device - say /dev/hda1 - then
you'll need to do the following (probably as root).
Be careful to type this command correctly or you
could be in a world of pain
dd if=/dev/hda1 bs=1k count=5 | file -
A
DO NOT USE dd WITH ANYTHING UNDER /dev WHILE RUNNING
AS ROOT UNLESS YOU REALLY, REALLY HAVE TO.
