AFAIK, it will create devices as per the partitions of your HDD. e.g: If your HDD has three partitions then it will create /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdb3.
Now if the three partitions have different filesystems then u have to use -t <fs-type> while mounting. For supported <fs-type> u need to check man page of mount.
