And when it's not mounted, the output is still enough:
zassenhaus /root# grep /dev/hda7 /proc/mounts
zassenhaus /root# file -s /dev/hda7
/dev/hda7: ReiserFS V3.6 block size 4096 num blocks 11378028 r5 hash
galois fst/tmp# grep /dev/hda8 /proc/mounts
galois fst/tmp# file -s /dev/hda8
/dev/hda8: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data
That's all you need to know...
