The partition table has a "partition type" byte in it, and the
partition table on sdb has sdb1 as 0x07 (NTFS). The filesystem on sdb1
is ext4. Most Linux utilities don't pay any attention to the "partition
type" byte. Your machine's BIOS, however, might. BIOSes have very
small brains, and "partition type NTFS but the filesystem isn't NTFS"
may be confusing it. If I were you, I'd use fdisk to change sdb1 to
type 0x83 (Linux) and see if that helps.
