What is wrong with just using the "blkid" program? It doesn't need root permission (if it is using the cache): [adilger ~]$ blkid /dev/sda1: LABEL="boot" UUID="1fe1d719-1a8c-45a0-969a-cba8b101cc57" TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" /dev/sda2: LABEL="FC8" UUID="3bf693a3-a288-45ea-9f8b-1d140254b44c" TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" /dev/sda3: TYPE="swap" LABEL="swap" UUID="d37ac19b-c8e1-42d5-8802-f1c98a6d7062" /dev/sda5: UUID="zm1xpW-mGQT-wlXO-dgMR-Gtx0-F5iI-9SSlxK" TYPE="lvm2pv" /dev/dm-0: LABEL="home" UUID="1bcd7718-3d7b-41ba-ab1a-f38e0fe40cf9" TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" and you can get the filesystem type of all or a specific device easily: [adilger ~]$ blkid -s TYPE /dev/sda1: TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda2: TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda3: TYPE="swap" /dev/sda5: TYPE="lvm2pv" /dev/dm-0: TYPE="ext3" [adilger ~]$ blkid -s TYPE /dev/sda2 /dev/sda2: TYPE="ext3" or other information such as the filesystem label: [adilger ~]$ blkid -s LABEL /dev/sda2 /dev/sda1: LABEL="boot" Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Dilger Sr. Staff Engineer, Lustre Group Sun Microsystems of Canada, Inc. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
