identify file system format of a disk type in java like ntfs, fat16/32 or ext
Is there any way to find out file system format of a disk in java. example for windows harddisk is ntfs, for zip dirves it is fat32. I've checked java.io.File but no help.
N.B. This is only valid for Java running on Windows system:
Using JNA, you can call Win32 Kernel32's GetVolumeInformation() to retrieve lpFileSystemNameBuffer parameter which receives the name of the file system, for example, the FAT file system or the NTFS file system http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364993(v=vs.85).aspx
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.)

What version of Java are you using?
