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.
May try that next, if it ever finishes this current attempt. It's been
a hour for the current format attempt. I won't be surprised if it gives
up too.
Did you check for any errors in dmesg?
