That's weird. Why can't it open it? Maybe you aren't running as root (The '%' prompt is suspicious). Maybe the kernel has been told to forget about the partitions of /dev/sdb. mdadm will sometimes tell it to do that, but only if you try to assemble arrays out of whole components. If that is the problem, then blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb will fix it.
