Does anyone know how to determine which file system a disk was formatted with, if fdisk -l doesn't show it?
I would use gparted from the command line or from Gnome's / Applications / System Tools menu
yum install gparted
Yes I second that. I prefer to use the GUI version, as you can see at a glance all you need to know about a drive's partitions.
Plus you can make a screenshot of a disk's partitions, in case you loose a disk and have to replace it, and re-partition it, like I had to earlier this year. Just follow whats on the screenshot.
