when I run mount, I can see my hard drive mount as fuseblk.
/dev/sdb1 on /media/ecarroll/hd type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2) However, fuseblk doesn't tell me what filesystem is on my device. I found it using gparted but I want to know how to find the fs using the command line utilities.
I found the answer provided by in the comments by Don Crissti to be the best
lsblk -no name,fstype This shows me exactly what I want and I don't have to unmount the device,
mmcblk0 └─mmcblk0p1 exfat See also,
lsblk -no name,fstype what distro are you using? What are your permissions in /run/udev/data, and /sys? drwxr-xr-x 2 root root /run/udev/data/ dr-xr-xr-x 12 root root /sys/ In general, it is not possible to go from a FUSE mount point to the process implementing it.
If you know something about how that filesystem works, then it might be possible. You have to track the device side, not the mount point. For example, in your case, the FUSE filesystem is exposing a filesystem on a block device, so you can look for processes that have the blockd device open: lsof /dev/sdb1 or fuser /dev/sdb1. Similarly, with SSHFS, you can use lsof or netstat to look for a process that has a connection to the right server, etc. This gives you a process ID, and ps can then tell you what program that process is running.
You can find the fs of /dev/sdb1 through :
fsck command:
fsck -N /dev/sdb1 mount command:
mount | grep /dev/sdb1 file command:
file -sL /dev/sdb1 df command:
df -T | grep /dev/sdb1 A generic way to query backing filesystem for any given file is to do
lsblk -no name,fstype,mountpoint "$(findmnt --target "$FILE" -no SOURCE)" The output will look something like
sdd1 exfat /media/USER/CARD-A123 where sdd1 is the device name, exfat is the underlying filesystem type (e.g. mount will show just fuseblk for both NFTS and exFat and this will show the real filesystem) and the rest of the output is the mount point for this filesystem.
If you get error such as
lsblk: : not a block device the $FILE didn't point to readable file or directory.
