Hi!
As I'm playing around a bit with bzImage, initrd and kerneld and friends, I was wondering if anyone has already written a generic utility that can deduce the type of a partition, somewhat like the "file" utility.
What I have in mind is something that can either take a device or a partition as a parameter, and by looking at the "right" places, i.e. _not_ only checking partition type (82, 83 et al), can tell with a rather high probability what the partition is really used for.
Is there anything out there already?
Cheers,
Bjorn <bj0rn@blox.se>
