I am trying to mount an ext4 file system in Ubuntu terminal, but I get the error message

mount: unknown filesystem type ext4dev 

$ lsblk -f /dev/sdb1 NAME FSTYPE LABEL sdb1 ext4dev ext4 

The hard drive is working fine.

I don't understand why FSTYPE is ext4dev. it should be ext4, right?

The following is result from cat /proc/filesystems. What should I do to make my system read ext4dev hard drive. thanks

nodev sysfs nodev rootfs nodev ramfs nodev bdev nodev proc nodev cpuset nodev cgroup nodev cgroup2 nodev tmpfs nodev devtmpfs nodev configfs nodev debugfs nodev tracefs nodev sockfs nodev pipefs nodev rpc_pipefs nodev devpts ext3 ext2 ext4 vfat msdos nodev nfs nodev nfs4 nodev autofs f2fs nodev mqueue fuseblk nodev fuse nodev fusectl

Yes, it should be ext4, not ext4dev. See the types of filesystems your system supports via cat /proc/filesystems.
