I have an external drive hooked up to my Mac, and I'm trying to determine things like, e.g., is this HFS or FAT, is it 32-bit or 64-bit, etc. It seems like there should be some trivial command that gives me this info, but I can't seem to find one. Ideas?

Highlight the volume in finder (note, that it must be the root of the volume), and hit cmd + i. The info dialog that appears shows you the filesystem type against the Format label.

Running mount in Terminal.app also works and has way less noise when compared to diskutil info -all.
