I own Seagate 500GB SATA HDD connected to the casing with the power supply which sits under /dev/sdb



I have successfully created the new ext4 partition using the following commands.



sudo fdisk -l


sudo fdisk /dev/sdb


and I formatted the partition with ext4 filesystem



sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1


I wanted to mount under /mnt/sdb



So, I ran the following command.



sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt/sdb


It returns the following error.



mount: /mnt/sdb: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.


I tried to fix with fsck. And this error occurs.

ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block

fsck.ext4: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>

Found a dos partition table in /dev/sdb


So, I tried dmesg

    You do not mount a drive, but mount a partition. It looks like you formatted sdb1, but tried to mount sdb. And if corrupted, run e2fsck as it says. or reformat. askubuntu.com/questions/642504/…

  • You posted this: fsck.ext4 /dev/sdb, but it has to be fsck.ext4 /dev/sdb1 with the partition number, not just the drive. More complete e2fsck with parameters posted in link in first comment.
