Yes, as you say. When I add one new disk, I always do as follows.
# fdisk /dev/sdb
> n => press "n" key to add one new partition.
> wq => sync disk.
# fdisk -l ==> we can see /dev/sdb1 created as the step above.
# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
However, in our HP server, fdisk -l shows /dev/sdb has no valid partition.
but mount /dev/sdb /mnt is OK. I wonder whether we can mount scsi disk without valid partition table.
