Re: how to identify filesystem type

[ippi <heynumbertwo@yahoo.com>]

I see what you mean. I created a reiserfs filesystem
and file only recognised it as data. If the block
devices are all hard disk partitions you should 
try fdisk:

    fdisk -l

Also, if you're interested in the filesystems of 
block devices that are already mounted, then just
type:

    mount

I don't know what is on the image /mnt/hda5/hdstg2.img
but you could try to mount it and see if it's 
recognised. Just do the following:

    mkdir mp
    mount -v -o loop /mnt/hda5/hdstg2.img mp

I take it you are sure that there are filesystems on
these devices and that they are not corrupted!
