I see what you mean. I created a reiserfs filesystem
and file only recognised it as data. If the block
devices are all hard disk partitions you should
try fdisk:
fdisk -l
Also, if you're interested in the filesystems of
block devices that are already mounted, then just
type:
mount
I don't know what is on the image /mnt/hda5/hdstg2.img
but you could try to mount it and see if it's
recognised. Just do the following:
mkdir mp
mount -v -o loop /mnt/hda5/hdstg2.img mp
I take it you are sure that there are filesystems on
these devices and that they are not corrupted!
