These commands work whether or not the file system is mounted.
If you have the raw device name of a disk slice, you can use the fstyp command to determine a file system's type (if the disk slice contains a file system). For more information, see fstyp(1M).
Example 14-1 Determining a File System's Type
The following example uses the fstyp command to determine the file system type.
# fstyp /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 zfs
The following example uses the /etc/vfstab file to determine the file system type for the /legacy file system.
$ grep /legacy /etc/vfstab /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s6 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s6 /legacy ufs 2 yes -
