Subject: [gentoo-server] Checking a block device
Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2010 08:13:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=C9L27cy9hkPsR0=dMW12F93v+GPzEq3d2hWZP@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello all,

How can I check if a block device (partition) has one or any of the
following characteristics:

[1] raw

[2] has content

[3] formatted

but without actually mounting it?

Please advice. Thank you in advance.

Regards,

GNUbie
