The command output indicates that for this test configuration /dev/sdb is the

device name of the volume, as highlighted in RED above.

5) Make the filesystem using the ‘mkfs’ command. This example uses the ‘-j’ option to

create an ext3 filesystem with journaling and a volume label name of ‘sles1’. Of

course you can partition the disk first (refer to ‘parted(8)’ ). Alternatively, the LVM

tool could be used to initialize the volume and assign the space to a logical

volume:

# mke2fs –L sles1 -j /dev/sdb

mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)

/dev/sdb is entire device, not just one partition!
