[solved] command to find out what filesystem?

Heyas,

I was just wondering if there was a command to check the filesystem on a device file without having to mount it to a folder?

fdisk -l as root will give that information

fdisk -l will give partition type, not fs type

/usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype /dev/device_file
