How to know the filesystem type on one block device?
Dear, By filesystem type, I mean including swap. Mount it or `file` a dd image of it sure can tell me the filesystem. But these can not deal with swap, and too complax. Parted can tell this information of a partition, but can not deal with lvm. While `lvdisplay` can not tell. So, any idea? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
