fstyp(ADM)
fstyp --
determine filesystem type
Syntax
/etc/fstyp device
Description
The fstyp command allows the super user to determine the
filesystem type of mounted or unmounted filesystems
using heuristic programs. The filesystem type is required by
mount(S)
and sometimes by
mount(ADM)
to mount filesystems of different types.
fstyp runs the fstyp programs in each of the directories
/etc/fscmd.d/TYPE
in alphabetical order, passing the name of the special device file
(device) associated with the filesystem as an argument; if any program
succeeds, its filesystem type identifier is printed and fstyp exits
immediately. If no program succeeds, fstyp prints:
Unknown_fstyp
to indicate failure.
Examples
To find the filesystem type for the root filesystem:
/etc/fstyp /dev/root
To find the filesystem type for another filesystem; here /dev/u
(usually mounted on /u):
/etc/fstyp /dev/u
