SUMMARY: How to distinguish between a UFS and ZFS filesystem

Thank you very much to all who replied. Most suggested using 'df -n'
to determine the mounted filesystems and their type. (Linux has a
similar command line parameter, '-T', but I find the output of
Solaris' version to be more "clean").
Some suggested using the command '/usr/sbin/fstyp' to determine the
filesystem type for both mounted and unmounted filesystems. Since you
must pass the device special file that corresponds to the filesystem,
I had trouble determining it's usage with ZFS filesystems. In
addition, latter versions of the Solaris man page for fstyp come with
this warning:
"This command is unreliable and its results should not be used to
make any decisions about subsequent use of a storage device or disk
partition."
Again, thank you to all who replied.
Mike
