How do I identify the file system of a drive in Mac OS?
Solution 1:
diskutil(8)
with the info
predicate will give you information about a disk or partition.
Solution 2:
Highlight the volume in finder (note, that it must be the root of the volume), and hit cmd + i. The info dialog that appears shows you the filesystem type against the Format
label.
Solution 3:
Running mount
in Terminal.app
also works and has way less noise when compared to diskutil info -all
.
Solution 4:
Unless you're wedded to doing it from the command line, use Disk Utility and it's "Info" button.
