This is my situation too. 'lsblk -f' works. If not working on Jessie is
thought to be a bug it is hardly worth reporting to the BTS except as a
wishlist bug. It is unlikely to be fixed for Jessie.
Richard Owlett and others are fortunately left with two methods to
identify a file system on a mounted or unmounted partition as a user.
Certain operations on a Linux system may require root privileges;
getting this information is not one of them. In fact, the information
is also available in /run/udev and /run/blkid; so there is another two
sources.
