fs_type () {
        if (export PATH="/lib/udev:$PATH"; type vol_id) >/dev/null 2>&1; then
                PATH="/lib/udev:$PATH" vol_id --type "$1" 2>/dev/null
        elif type blkid >/dev/null 2>&1; then
                blkid -o value -s TYPE "$1" 2>/dev/null
        else
                return 0
        fi
}x
