I am trying to mount a ext4 file system on ubuntu terminal. however, terminal give me error messages: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4dev'



lsblk -f /dev/sdb1



NAME FSTYPE LABEL

sdb1 ext4dev ext4



hard drive is working fine.



I don't understand why FSTYPE is ext4dev. it should be ext4, right?



the following is result from cat /proc/filesystems however the HD drive filesystem is ext4dev. What should I do to make my system read ext4dev hard drive. thanks




nodev sysfs
nodev rootfs
nodev ramfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev cpuset
nodev cgroup
nodev cgroup2
nodev tmpfs
nodev devtmpfs
nodev configfs
nodev debugfs
nodev tracefs
nodev sockfs
nodev pipefs
nodev rpc_pipefs

nodev nfs
nodev nfs4
