How do you figure out what your root file system is?

[Dawes, Stephen]

You can look at either fstab or mtab. In both cases, the file system is
indicated.
For example my fstab has the following entry.
/dev/hda2                 /                       ext3    defaults
1 1
The ext3 is the file system. If you are using ext2, then your fstab will
show ext2 instead of ext3.
