      Thanks,

That does exactly what I want.

This only works in Linux. I know little of Windows, unfortunately:
...
...
- --------cut----------
 import os, stat
...
...
def getFSType(filename):
 """
 Returns the fstype of the volume containg 'filename', which should be
 the
 full path to the file
 """
 # Build dict of filesystems and use the device number as the key
 devices = {}
 f = open('/proc/mounts')
 for line in f.readlines():
 info = line.split()
 devnum = os.stat(info[1])[stat.ST_DEV]
 devices[devnum] = info[2]
 f.close()
...
...
# Find out which one contains 'filename' and return the fstype
 return devices[os.stat(filename)[stat.ST_DEV]]
 - ------------cut---------
...
...
If you want to know more about how that works, check out the documentation
 for 
 the 'stat' module.
