sdb1???

[Leif Gregory]

I had a bunch of disk activity going on with my laptop which stopped
shortly after I started looking around to see what was causing it.

I did a dmesg which contained this:
[28595.603991] Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 786433

That doesn't quite make sense to me. I don't have an sdb1 AFAIK.

So what is it referring to do you think? If I could figure that out I
could use smartctl to try and more info.

Thanks.
