I read this article talking about chopping boot-time in half with e4rat, but in order to do so your partition has to be ext4. How can you check what kind of partition you have?
Thanks in advance

I'm sure there are many ways to do this...
If you search for disk in Dash, you can examine the layout of your partitions for any hard-drives you have installed.
For example:
This image on my laptop shows that I have a mixture of ext4 and ntfs partitions.
If you double click each visible partition in Nautilus and then run in a terminal df -T you can see the ext type for each partition that is mounted.
For example
dad@emachineubuntu:~$ df -T
Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 ext4 99520000 76240232 18224384 81% /
udev devtmpfs 3956048 4 3956044 1% /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 1586240 1188 1585052 1% /run
none tmpfs 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock
none tmpfs 3965592 592 3965000 1% /run/shm
/dev/sda3 fuseblk 58554680 43349156 15205524 75% /media/eMachines
/dev/sda7 ext4 65423132 3349996 58749744 6% /media/5e4ea9ba-
N.B. the NTFS partition is shown as fuseblk
