identify file system format of a disk type in java like ntfs, fat16/32 or ext

Question

Is there any way to find out the file system format of a disk in java?

For example for a windows hard drive it could be NTFS, for zip drives it is FAT32.

Answer 1

What version of Java are you using?

If Java 7 - Check out this API - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/file/FileSystems.html

Outside of that I know System.getProperty and Runtime have methods to grab information on the disk being used but nothing that specifically calls out the File System type (NTFS, FAT32, etc.)
