How can I tell what filesystem is on a partition?

fdisk tells me what the partition table thinks it is, but now what it
may really be.  file doesn't seem to quite work, either.  For example:

$ sudo file -s /dev/sda5
/dev/sda5: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version
0x3, 1st sector stage2 0x8dfebe1, code offset 0x48

Any thoughts?

Regards,
