.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
fsinfo tries to read partition and file system information from the
devices specified on the command line. It first determines the
type of the file system, if any, found on the device. If a file system
is found, fsinfo reports the type of file system,
the last domain prefix that the device was mounted as, the domain
number of the file system, the Sprite ID of the machine it was
last mounted on, and the start cylinder and the number of cylinders
of the partition on which the file system resides.
.PP
Since disk partitions can overlap, fsinfo may find the same file system
on two different devices even though the file system was created on only one.
If the user sets the \fI\-verbose\fR option, fsinfo reports an error
if a file system is found on a different partition than the one it was
created on.
If no file system is found on a device, a message is printed to that
effect. Note also that fsinfo prints an error message if the device
specifies the entire disk, e.g., /dev/rsd00, since file systems are
not created on disks, but rather on partitions.
