You could do something like this:
root@laureate:/# file -s /dev/hda[1-4] /dev/hda[1-2] /dev/hda1: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data /dev/hda2: Linux/i386 swap file (new style) 1 (4K pages) size 500022 pages /dev/hda3: data /dev/hda4: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data /dev/hda1: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data /dev/hda2: Linux/i386 swap file (new style) 1 (4K pages) size 500022 pages
Hmm... it doesn't like reiserfs... (/dev/hda3 is reiserfs) :-(

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.
