How can I tell what file system an external hard drive has using Debian?
I have opened it via the GUI, but there is nothing listed for 'filesystem type'
debian filesystems hard-disk external-hdd

Unsure why I am being downvoted, but I was able to find the information using:
fdisk -l
, which returns:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 2048 1953521663 1953519616 931.5G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
This command shows the partition type, not the filesystem on it.
