RE: Finding out FS type of a file

You should be able to find this out by using the *f_vfsmnt variable in
the file struct.  That will describe the mounted file system.

That's found in linux/fs.h

Also you can use the super_block data struct. That will tell you the
file system type ext3, ext2 whatever.

I think that's the way I'd do it.. but don't take my word for it.. :)
