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/sdb1

It will use the parameters from /etc/mke2fs.conf. This is the safest way to format a partition.
