Determining a Solaris File System type

Published   Read time 39 sec(s)   (3072 views).  Solaris  

These commands work whether or not the file system is mounted.

If you have the raw device name of a disk slice, you can use the fstyp or the df command to determine a file system's type.

The following example uses the fstyp command to determine the file system type:

# fstyp /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
zfs

The following example uses the df -n command to display a system's file system types.:

# df -n
/                   : zfs
/devices            : devfs
/dev                : dev
