no, it isnt, i checked. everything is mounted as sdb, without a

What's "the same answer?" Can you post the results of df?
List of all partitions:

In my memory, when I got messages like this I didn't have the partition
or the drive names properly. If you post the results of `df`, we can
see what sda[1,2] are. In Ubuntu, run `mtab` and see what is mounted.
If you post those results, please indicate which is your "sdb."
The easiest thing to do is to in Ubuntu `System --> Administration -->
Disk Utility` and set up a partition on your sdb. This may involve a
format command which would wipe everything out. Back it up first!
There's an easy way to do that. Make a directory in Ubuntu with enough
space to hold your LFS system. Then use `find` piped to `cpio` Let's
say you call the directory in Ubuntu ~/backup--in your home directory.
Here's the sequence:
mkdir ~/backup
cd <to whatever your sdb is>
find ./ -xdev -print0 | cpio -pa0v ~/backup
find runs through your sdb and ignores other filesystems--<-xdev>--and
passes what it finds to cpio which just "passes them through" preserving
all permissions, symlinks and other stuff.
After you've set up the sdb you can run the "find | cpio" combination
again from ~/backup to what ever the new thing is-- /dev/something
Good luck.
