Default Command to Check Linux File System
Hello everyone,

My school has a few linux machines, and they're SuSe10. I don't know the command to check and see what file system they use like ext2, ext3 or reiserf? I also have SuSe10 at home, and I still can't figure out what command to use to check file system. I am from Windows world and to check the file system(FAT32/NTFS) in Windows is very easy. I really appreciate if anyone can help. Thanks a lot.

proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/sdb5 on /media/docs type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdb3 on /media/isomp3s type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdc1 on /media/backup type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdb1 is mounted on / and type is ext3 fs.

Default Thank You
Thank you very much. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to do it, but I can't. Now with that command, it helps.
