pdisk doesn't actually create filesystems or format disks, all it does
it write the disk label (partition map) specifying where the
partitions are located and what sort of filesystem they are alleged to
contain.  You will still need to create a filesystem in the partition
(using mke2fs or some such) before you can mount it.
