You are not looking at the filesystem type but the partition type.
If you use the command 'mount' you should get a list of partitions with 
filesystem like this:
[scott at ip68-101-182-212 ~]$ mount
/dev/hda6 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw)

The 8e you see says that the partition is an linux LVM
