fdisk is (from the man page): Partition table manipulator for Linux floppies don't have partition tables, only hard drives. > > But when I list the possible filesystems with l in fdisk I see that there > are 30 other filesystems. > Does anyone know how to determine the file-format on the disk? > Is there any application on the rtbtsystem that can do it for me? If the mount command you listed above didn't complain, the floppy filesystem matches what is in your /etc/fstab entry for /dev/fd0 (probably some flavor of MSDOS). You should be able to just list the files on the floppy using ls. If, however, there was some complaining, and the floppy didn't mount (more likely), the file format is some proprietary format without a recognizable filesystem (like some of the older microcontrollers were wont to use).
