df -i
will show you the # of inodes, # free, # used, and percentage of them in
use.
mount
will show mounted file systems and their types.
If you don't know the file system on a partition, probably the best thing to
do is to do a
mount /whatever/partition /mnt
and let Linux try to guess the filesystem type. If it can't, you'll get an
error. If it can, it'll mount, and then you can use 'mount' to find out
what type it is.
