Once again thanks a lot guys for all your help and I really appreciate it
that I can really come back to you, if am stuck with any python issues, as
i was really a embedded linux platform developer
>From now I have learnt not to use much bash commands with pipe and to just
use the bash command and parse it using python code
For now I have simplified and it working as below, might be useful for
others sometime
def get_fstype_of_mounted_partition(self, partition_path):
"""
Get the filesystem type of the mounted partition.
:partition_name : Partition path as string (e.g. /dev/mmcblk0p1)
:return: filesystem type as string
"""
cmd = "lsblk %s -n -o FSTYPE" % partition_path
return self._helper.execute_cmd_output_string(cmd)
