I need to identify file system on all partitions of my hard drive
whether mounted or not.
parted /dev/sda print | grep ext | grep -v exte
reports the desired information [partitions formatted ext?] in a
convenient format.
*HOWEVER* parted requires root privileges. That is not acceptable.
Suggestions?
Have a look at lsblk. It has many possible output format settings (lsblk --help shows a list) and most of them are available without root privileges (a few aren't - don't remember which ones, though).
