How to identify the filesystem type in Solaris

Give the following commands:

1.  Type devnm mount-point and press Return. The raw device name is displayed.
2.  Become superuser.
3.  Type fstyp /dev /rdsk /cntndnsn and press Return. The type of the file system is displayed:

$ devnm /usr
/dev/vx/dsk/usrdg/usr /usr

$ fstyp /dev/vx/dsk/usrdg/usr
fstyp: cannot stat or open

Become root

$ pbrun ksh

In case if we do not have root access we can use following command to check the filesystem type of mounted file system on solaris.

df -n | grep

"df -n | grep" is incomplete.

df -n

without grep is sufficient to identify the filesystem type.
