linux, that would be /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sdb1 or whatever.
on a random server with normally partitioned disks...
# file -s /dev/sda
/dev/sda: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 1,
startsector 63, 256977 sectors; partition 2: ID=0xfd, starthead 0,
startsector 257040, 4192965 sectors; partition 3: ID=0xfd, starthead 0,
startsector 4450005, 138914055 sectors, code offset 0x48
# file -s /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (needs journal recovery)
