It could be that (1) it=E2=80=99s not called that way, or (2) additional ke=
rnel
modules need to be loaded so that the device is visible.

For (1), you could try using a partition label rather than the actual
device name in the =E2=80=98file-system=E2=80=99 declaration.

For (2), you could check in the kernel log whether sdb is detected.
