No. If you did mkfs for sdb, the mount device must be sdb (not sdb1), and the opposite is true. So they differ. > Is this a nilfs-specific feature? I believe most filesystems can do this. One of the merits to use device itself is that it can align the disk area without inserting offset sectors. Since performance of flash devices is often sensitive to alignment of sectors, this style is occasionally used.
