Done.

...
and then, running gparted on /dev/sdb , I get a yellow warning triangle and a message in partition information :

"Unable to read the contents of this file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
The cause might be a missing software package.
The following list of software packages is required for f2fs file system support:  f2fs-tools."

can this be caused by different mkfs/fsck/kernel versions ? or this is
some overlook during gparted development ?
