Although running mkfs on a bare drive such is sdc is a pretty stupid idea. Not because you shouldn't, but because nobody else does. And
I do regularly. Exactly for /dev/sdc. It's my (scsi) floppy drive. never saw a partitioned floppy. ;)
I remember having to to use the bare drive once with RHEL on a raid array that exceeded 16-TB. This was almost 10-years ago, there must have been something funky with the partition labels. Filesystem was XFS and I remember having to manually load/install it on RHEL, it wasn't "cooked in". I never did like Red Hat, it's why I originally picked up SuSE 5.2. But that's another story.
