are in use on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 system. Any help?

TIA

I hardly see it as top posting, as it did come directly after the thing I
wanted to comment and I did answer his question without top posting too.

right place.

the file types you state are for the way in which filesystems are formated.
Ie it has nothing to do with the files themselves.


>cat /etc/mtab

That is what mount reports on but it will also do.
