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-osr5)
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
