before we mount any drive we must specify a filesystem to it
following code may help you cheers

Code:

[root@redhat-testpc ~]# mkfs --help
mkfs.ext2: invalid option -- -
Usage: mkfs.ext2 [-c|-t|-l filename] [-b block-size] [-f fragment-size]
        [-i bytes-per-inode] [-j] [-J journal-options] [-N number-of-inodes]
        [-m reserved-blocks-percentage] [-o creator-os] [-g blocks-per-group]
        [-L volume-label] [-M last-mounted-directory] [-O feature[,...]]
        [-r fs-revision] [-R options] [-qvSV] device [blocks-count]
