You can see with $ mount as what format everything is mounted as. You can mount ext3 as ext4 but not the other way around. Of course, this doesn't help you determining what format the partition really has. To do that, you need to # tune2fs -l /dev/partition and look at the "Filesystem features". $ man tune2fs tells you that ext4-only features are ununit_bg and flex_bg. If you see these your partition is ext4, if not it can be mounted as ext3. -- Jussi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussilehtola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You can also use the blkid command which will give a more specific result. It will state "ext3" or "ext4"
