Is is something like /sbin/blkid you are looking for?  It 
lists block ids for all partitions.

I am running F10 x86_64 and I just use ext4 as the type in 
fstab to mount ext4 partitions and it works fine.  They 
mount fine from F9 as well as near as I can tell.  I am able 
to rwx on them at least.
