It's what Gparted does and what Richard mentioned as example of the desired
information. Given that the source code of Gparted is published, we do not
have to speculate how it does this, but rather can riddle over its C++ code.

(The ext2 specific code distinguishes between mounted and not mounted
 partitions. The FAT related code seems not to do.)


Have a nice day :)
