Use 

# fdisk -l  

or 

# sfdisk-l

or

# cfisk -l

These commands will tell you the file system. Do "man fdisk"  if you don't
know the potential of these commands. They can inflict harm. 

They will read the filesystem without compromising integrity, and you should
have a write blocker anyway that will protect the drive.

Subject: Hard disk file system identification



I have received an internal hard drive that I need to image and perform some
analysis on; however, I don't know the file system type on the disk, there
for, I can not correctly mount it to the RedHat 9 machine I used to do my
image creation and analysis.  Is there any way that I can identify what file
system type is on a hard disk without jeopardizing the integrity of the hard
disk?  Thanks for the help.  Nick
