How to find out the filesystem type of devices and partitions on Linux

So, I was working on a system remotely over ssh and I had to find out what filesystem was a particular partition formatted into. The thing looks trivial, but if you have been using some GUI app for this, then it won't come easy if you are working on a console. The trick in such situations is to look into the commands that deal with stuff similar to what you want, i.e disks & partitions in my case. So, I went for df, & parted.

I usually use df with "-h" option, but there is a -T option that lets you view the type of filesystems associated with the partitions and devices.

[shredder12]$ df -Th

Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2     ext4     14G  4.0G  9.2G  30% /
none      devtmpfs    493M  288K  493M   1% /dev
none         tmpfs    501M  1.6M  499M   1% /dev/shm
none         tmpfs    501M  256K  500M   1% /var/run
none         tmpfs    501M     0  501M   0% /var/lock
/dev/sda4     ext4     29G   18G   11G  63% /media/sda4
/dev/sda5     ext4     95G   53G   38G  59% /home

/dev/sdb1     vfat    3.8G  1.7G  2.1G  46% /media/7BAA-F896

Similarly, parted with "-l" option lists out all the devices

[shredder12]$ sudo parted -l
