Identifying File System Types
Use the fstyp command to determine the file system type for a specified file system. This is useful when a file system was created elsewhere and you want to know its type.
How to Identify a File System
To determine the status of mounted file systems, use the syntax:
fstyp -v special

To find out what kind of file system is on the device /dev/vx/dsk/fsvol/vol1, enter:
# fstyp -v /dev/vx/dsk/fsvol/vol1
