Examples of CLI detecting filesystem on unmounted Block Device

Below are the examples of Linux command line (CLI) that can be used to detect or identify filesystem on unmounted block devices.

root@vbox1:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 20 GiB, 21474836480 bytes, 41943040 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Device                                Boot Start      End  Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 *    16065 41929649 41913585  20G 83 Linux
root@vbox1:~#

root@vbox1:~# blkid /dev/sda
/dev/sda: PTUUID="75d4a897" PTTYPE="dos"
root@vbox1:~# blkid /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: UUID="4146cccc-7d36-4a23-af4c-972161e75220" TYPE="ext2" PARTUUID="75d4a897-01"

root@vbox1:~# file -s /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data (mounted or unclean), UUID=4146cccc-7d36-4a23-af4c-972161e75220 (large files)
