Linux – show file system type

How to print the file system type of a mount
Linux supports several file systems, including VFAT, ext2, ext3, ext4 and Reiser. The ext* family of file systems are probably the most popular ones.
The quickest way to view the file system on which each FILE resides, or all file systems is the “df” command.
$ df -Th
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev devtmpfs 481M 4.0K 481M 1% /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 99M 1.2M 98M 2% /run
/dev/sda1 ext4 46G 32G 12G 73% /
none tmpfs 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
none tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none tmpfs 494M 12K 494M 1% /run/shm
none tmpfs 100M 36K 100M 1% /run/user
In the above example, with "df -Th", we can see the file system type
("-T" option) in a human readable ("-h") size format.
