How to determine the file system type?
Good day

I need create new mount points on a server. I'm not very familiar with HP-UX and was given steps on how to go about doing the mounting, etc.
Before I start though, I need to determine which file system type is currently being used. This will determine whether i need to extend the logical volume, etc.

How do I see what file is system is currently being used? Like jfs or vxfs.
I typed "mount" but I can't see anything helpful from that output, or am I just reading the output wrong? Smilie

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I think
Code:
cat /etc/mnttab

fstyp works on unmounted file systems, AFAIK.

Thanks. "mount" has the same output as catting the mntab file. fstyp works though:

Code:
# fstyp /dev/vg_rman_01/lv_rman10_05
vxfs
