yeah, and while at it, it would be nice to use and format a complete disk like /dev/sdb for e.g. /home.
Just out of curiosity, what is the advantage of using the whole disk? Creation one partition and using that does not seem to be that much work.
The reason I heard is for network storage where you can resize the disk online. Then you just have to resize the filesystem and your're done.
