How do I findout if a partition is ext2, ext3, or ext4?

[mister_v]

Hey,

I would like too know how a partition has been formatted
Is it ext2, ext3, or ext4?

Is there a quick command?

Thanks

You can try

Code: Select all

file -s /dev/sda*

as root.

That should give you all the info about the partitions on sda.
