Just wanted to make sure it's not a 4K alignment issue. It starts at 2048 so it's fine.
It is still trying to put a ext4 file system on it and it has been about a hour.
I'd recommend just using mkfs instead of using your own parameters: mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb1It will use the parameters from /etc/mke2fs.conf. This is the safest way to format a partition.
