Try
Code:
df

Edit:
Sorry, I seem to have misunderstood your question - checked it on Debian (which should be very similar or the same with Ubuntu) and mount shows filesystem types as well as /etc/mtab as dunkar70 suggested.

Code:
$> uname -a
Linux somehost 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Tue Mar 9 17:35:51 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
$> mount| head -1
/dev/sda5 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
$> head -1 /etc/mtab
/dev/sda5 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0

I do not currently have access to a Linux system, but try:
Code:
cat /etc/mtab

This should provide a list of currently mounted partitions as well as their file system types, permissions, and other options.

Code:
cat /proc/mounts

Can sometimes find some stuff that is not in /etc/mtab. They are usually very similar.
