Issue:
How do I find out the filesystem type of a disk or partition?
Resolution:
Issue the mount command without any arguments and a list will be produced of all the mounted filesystems on the system, including the filesystem type, mount location, and any mount options for each device.

An example: 

 
$ mount
/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
