How ? I may suggest amongst others :
file -sk /dev/sdb6
wipefs /dev/sdb6
blkid /dev/sdb6

Why use an obsolete filesystem type as ext3 instead of ext4 ?

My understanding of the FHS was that /mnt was intended to be used as a 
temporary mount point, not to contain any subdirectories used as 
permanent mount points.
