I'm seeing somewhat odd behaviour:



% lsblk | grep sdb 
sdb 8:16 1 114.6G 0 disk
└─sdb1 8:17 1 114.6G 0 part /run/media/ravi/CC49-1FC8
% lsblk /dev/sdb
lsblk: /dev/sdb: not a block device


The device is a newly ordered Sandisk dual USB-C 128GB that I'm running f3write on to check if it is a fake or not.



Why would lsblk contradict itself like this?



Are there different measures as to what is a block device?

          lsblk on its own will scan for devices in sysfs. Many linux distributions have a hotplug handler (udev) that automagically makes corresponding nodes in /dev when block devices appear, and removes them when the devices disappear.



          Either your system doesn't have such hotplug handler, or more likely there is one, but it fails to handle the hotplugging event, so you have ended up without the corresponding /dev node. For the latter, perhaps the system log file(s) have some indication about that failure.
